A bit arrogant, but basically true.

Blessed be. As a bicyclist, I can attest that there is little worse than
some clown blasting his hooter in my ear. (Lately, my VW Rabbit Conv. has
imitated that Alvis -- one of the twin horns seems to be going out, so I
sometimes just get a weak, single-horn toot. When I get around to fixing it,
perhaps I should install a second switch somewhere, to do that on purpose.)
