(as promised)
If you should find yourself to be the driver of a motored vehicle (Land Cruiser, truck, moto, etc.) while in Haiti, here is a list of times when it is appropriate to use your horn*:
- If someone cuts you off
- If someone in front of you is going too slow
- If a horse/goat/chicken/dog is in front of your vehicle
- If you are about to pass another Land Cruiser/truck/moto
- If you see someone you know
- If you see someone you don’t know
- If there is a person walking on the section of road where you want to drive and you wish for them to move
- If you are picking someone up and want them to know you have arrived
- If you have arrived at a gate that you would like someone to open for you
- If you are coming up to an intersection and want to let any traffic from the opposite direction know that you are coming and do not plan to stop
- If you are going around a corner and want to let other vehicles know you are turning
- If you are playing chicken with another Land Cruiser/truck/moto and you want them to know that you are not going to pull out of their trajectory
- If you want to express your anger at another driver who shattered your mirror by squeezing too close to you in Port-Au-Prince traffic
- If another vehicle honks at you first
- If your engine is running (optional)
