Truck drivers always seem to have a tire iron or hammer handy for such
situations. Honda generally keeps the tire iron will stowed. I'll bet
that has prevented a few nasty beatings :-)

Good point, plus a point near & dear to me, you might be in a
residential area and the loud horn could wake up someone's baby, an
elderly person, someone who works nights, etc., something I wish the
bozos around here would remember once in a while (I live near a busy
intersection and some drivers just lean on their horns during morning &
evening rush hours). Oooo, what I'd give for a handy tire iron
sometimes! ;)
