It would be nice if a standard feature of a car horn would be to deliver to the user a mild electric shock -- just to discourage needless use.

Now after four years of a being tailgated by honking lunatics that have limbs hanging from their metaphorical grilles, I see the value in tightening my seat belt and dropping it into reverse.
