Dude! That bites! That happened to me...
in the 2.7T just ONE DAY after I got it back from the body shop. New bumper, damaged (paint was spider cracked) from impact with flying tire debris. Oh well... It could have been worse, it could have hit your windshield and damaged YOU!

hmmmmm
nudge car next to me, with potential for him to swerve at 65? sounds brilliant. honestly, I dont buy that given the possible reactions of the ot her driver when what I need is a new fog lamp, bumper, and under tray....
either way, I was able to notice that it was not going to hit me in such a way that it was going to cause injury to me (hitting the windshield)
and a bullhorn in the passenger sseat?! wtf? you really do that?

Sure, isn't the use of a bullhorn on the syllabus at the Car Control Clinic? Maybe Noah can pipe in.
The tough part, I find, about the use of the bullhorn in this instance is that I need to use both hands to grab it and turn it on. That forces me to do the little "nudge" using my knees on the steering wheel. Not ideal, but it gets the job done. A flat bottomed steering wheel really helps here.
And when you're not using the bullhorn for accident avoidance, it's a lot of fun at the McDonald's drive-thru.

Youv'e got to hardwire the bullhorn, and have it voice activated.
Yes, we'll cover proper bullhorn technique, as well as expanding the vocabulary of insults and curses you can hurl at other drivers ;-)
