The horn is designed to prevent accidents, yet most drivers in Vancouver treat it like a last resort—or worse, as a rude gesture. This hesitation stems from pack mentality, where everyone is too afraid to stand out by using the horn. But here’s the reality: your horn can save lives. Whether it’s warning a pedestrian hidden behind a parked car or alerting another driver who hasn’t noticed you, the horn is faster and more effective than any other tool in your car.
The problem lies in perception. People associate horn use with aggression, but its true purpose is communication. A light tap can warn someone of your presence without startling or upsetting them. But when the pack discourages its use, drivers lose one of their most powerful tools for avoiding collisions.
At Cooper Driving School, we teach students how to use their horn responsibly and effectively. Our stress-free driver training emphasizes calm, confident communication on the road. Break free from the herd and take control of your safety with simple, proactive habits.
