    Default Using a horn is “road rage” in CO?

    So, what is a horn used for in CO if not for safety?

    This individual is known on the internet to stage Police confrontations and then post His video's...…. need I say more ????? …………..Mike …….PS in Vermont ( an uber liberal State ) use of your horn can also be considered " Road Rage " …. a veh's horn can only be used as a warning device ….. warning someone to get the *ell out of your way is not a Legal use for that device …..

    Wish he had written him a ticket and used the Go Pro footage as evidence. In my mind, any Judge worth his salt would have ended up schooling the Napoleon complexed cop.


    Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

    Cop needs remedial training. He was antagonistic contentious and way out of line no mater who the motorcyclist was. A simple verbal warning would've sufficed. The video should have been sent to his commander.

    That cop's badge weighs way too heavy.

    Well, I didn't like either one of the participants. I thought they were both were obnoxious. Big ego colliding with an agenda-driven jerk..... Jim

    i have used my horn many times on police, quite often when they are double parked sitting, or driving using a cell phone or changing lanes without
    signalling. i could be wrong but in ny that is all illegal and police should know that too.

    I can see that happening a lot in NY City. My favorite, was a video shown of an offduty sgt and his wife parking their car in a HC zone and going about their business. No plate or sticker...just use the space and fagitaboutit.

    In AK, using the horn against anyone could result in a shootout. We were very careful to suck it in there.
