is it wrong to horn at pedestrians in the carpark

last Saturday, I was at at SITEX Singapore expo, as I am driving out of the carpark, there was this family of 15 with teenagers and granny, and they were basically occupying the entire driveway, knowing that I am waiting for them to make way, they continue to stroll at a very slow pace while laughing. Out of courtesy, I make a very quick and short horn "Bom", not loud at all, less that 0.5 second. The family got startled and the father starts showing me abusive sign language, curse and swear at me.

I cant be bothered as I drive away, but out of curiosity, I just want to find out am I in the wrong?

This is not the first time, I got scolding for horning pedestrians on many occasions. Why huh?
you are not wrong.

they are not right either.

You cannot honk at humans. But it is all right to honk at cows which are plentiful in Singapore's roads.
 
people very edgy these days, keep a baseball bat in the car.
 
1. You are not wrong.

2. When that Ah Beng started swearing, you should've honked again. Only this time, 15 seconds. They're obstructing. And didn't get the hint with the first toot. Deaf maybe?

3. What's granny doing at SITEX?

I think you were too considerate to a bunch of inconsiderate apes.

Cheers!

Yup. She likely to be hard of hearing. Just run her over.

Ok. Ok. Didn't mean to be so harsh. Just knock her knee caps out. Fix that painful osteo once and for all.


Cheers!


No matter how I would never horn at a granny
