If your car horn doesn’t work just stick your head out the window and start screaming.

This saves on horn fluid too. Genius.

You could just rev the engine I guess.

SLPT: Replace your headlights with infrared lights and an infrared camera on your dashboard so you don't blind approaching drivers.

Fun fact: Strong infrared light still damages the eye even if you don't see it. As a bonus, the pupils may be fully dilated due to darkness and let even more IR light hit the innards.

To add to this, you get more out of your horn mileage if you get in intervals, especially to your favorite rhythm. It's simply not a Saturday night without me driving blind on a winding road in the dark honking to Staying Alive.

It takes years to get good at that though. Keep trying!
