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?

Singaporeans are rude. The years of courtesy campaign has not changed the attitudes and mindset of country one iota. Over here, it is common that the pedestrian would move to one side, and the driver would just say wave or say thank you as he drive-by. No animosity between them, there is no need to horn or show abusive languages in both cases.

ossies are the rudest fuckers in the world. any asian-looking drivers caught horning at ossies will be in for a rude-awakening.

What kind of "rude-awakening"?

 

[glockman]

What kind of "rude-awakening"?

Asian drivers will stop their car and whack up those white trash.

[no_faith]

Based on your account, you were not in the wrong.
15 people strolling leisurely in a car park is really very inconsiderate.
As for the granny, it appears that she was not walking slowly because of age. She was walking slowly because she was strolling leisurely with 14 other people.

But of course, it would be interesting to hear what the 15 people have to say, and also why you have honked at pedestrains on many occasions.

 

[congo9]

yes , you can horn them.

I also cannot tahan pedestrian. It like the whole world got to wait for them to clear up the road before the car can move. Take for instance, the school girls crossing the road can chit chat when meet up in the middle of the road, while the car wait for them to cross or clear the road.

If buay song, then come out and talk la ... don't need to be afraid of them.

Just knock them down and roll over them. It's no murder, just traffic accident.

Me too. I always curse them one day one of them will bang by lorry/bus. Then they will learn a lesson. There is pedestrain/overhead crossing bvut they just dont want to use .
LTA/traffic police should station in hot spot jaywalking fine then on the spot.
