Reasons Why I Needed An Air Horn

I remember the day like it was yesterday even though was quite some time ago. I was driving down the street in a car that I loved and I felt that it was the hottest thing in town. I remember I was looking at a text message on my cell phone and I found it quite funny. While I was deep into what was reading on my cell phone I was not paying attention to the road and for that reason I did not realize that I was at the green light. When I did not snap back into reality on my own, instead there was a huge truck next to me and the driver realized that I was not paying attention as well. Since he noticed that, the guy in the truck figured he would do me a favor and help me snap back into reality. Instead of honking the stock horn that came with his huge truck he decided that it was more beneficial for him to use his air horns instead.

Sure you have probably heard a Air Horn when you are on or near railroad tracks from a Train that is no where near where you are, but never have you unexpectingly heard such a loud sound from a pick up truck. IF at the time I was suffering from heart issues, I probably would not be here today to tell you this story since such a shock would have for sure caused a heart attack. When you have all of your attention focused on everything around you and you are not expecting to hear something that can easily bust to your eardrums, when it happens there are tons of emotions that go through your mind. It took almost a minute for me to gather myself and realize what just happened. I was embarassed and one of the first things I did was looked around to see if anyone saw my reaction. After that I was angry and highly offended, and there was nothing that I could do about it because the truck driver was long gone.

What is the point and the moral of this story? First of all make sure you pay attention to the road instead of any electronic device when driving, whether it is a cell phone or your radio. The reason is that you never know what type of obstacles could be in front of you while you are not paying attention to the road. This can range from green lights, pedestrians, other cars, or Air Horns on huge trucks. Sure when it comes to Air Horns, almost all cars do not have this mod attached to their car but these days you never know. You may think I am making this a bigger deal that it really is, but to be honest it was an experience in life that I will next forget. You may be one of those people who thinks doing these types of things to people is funny, and if that is the case go ahead and get a Air Horn installed on your car but PLEASE do not use it when around me.
