Horn effect

An elderly American driver, frustrated at the presence of two cyclists on the road, drove his vehicle behind the pair while continuously sounding his horn. The cyclists rode at the edge of the roadway leaving plenty of room for the man to overtake but instead he crawled along behind the pair for five minutes. Other motorists were forced to overtake and a large queue of vehicles formed behind the man’s SUV. The cyclists had fitted video cameras to their helmets and recorded their encounter, which was then handed over to the police. Offiers were able to track the driver and charged him with harassment, impeding the flow of traffic and improper use of his horn. Quite what he was thinking he was doing is unclear but he is unlikely to be pleased by the comments posted on the internet along with the video clips that refer to his driving ability and mental state.
