Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I would have honked again when he got back in his car, but I'm an asshole like that. BTW I thought everyone had to be on a "Handsfree device" while driving?

I can empathize with the biker here. He honked at the driver in front of him for impeding traffic while talking on a cell phone, which is illegal. He wasn't looking to start a fight. He wasn't looking for confrontation. He apologized numerous times. The cop repeatededly interrupted him and talked over him while continuing to block the road and threaten him. Cop should have broken contact after about 15 seconds.

Doesn't even matter if it's illegal, it's rude and inconsiderate.

Agreed. Also, honking is the legally accepted way to signal that you'd like to pass the vehicle in front of you in most states.

Huh. Apparently I was road raging today when the guy in the pick up truck in front of me wasn't paying attention to the light and I honked. Who knew.
If I'm not paying attention to something when operating a vehicle I appreciate when someone honks to let me know. Maybe I'm just weird that way.
Wed some crazy idiot purposely went behind me and honked, then moved left side of me, and gave me a middle finger.
I wish I had a dash cam with 50BMG on top of my car. lol
Me too. I'd much rather be honked at then hold up traffic and be an ass. But I'm a pretty good "heads up" driver and with a manual both hands have to be on my car to make it go. So that's seldom a problem.
That said, I usually don't honk if I can just go around people who aren't driving/paying attention. Usually that's fine but sometimes people want to rage over it. Like they had a right to hold up traffic and I just ruined it for them.
Cop was wrong on several levels, period. Good reason to always have a camera right there. A judge SHOULD see that footage.
