I've swerved or braked while on the horn at the same time. A horn is more of a protest, notification or announcement. The steering and action taken is actually avoiding the accident.
When you have a woman backing up at a red light or when you have a woman release her brakes looking for her cell phone. They are moving a creeping speed with your motorcycle positioned to become a trunk or hood ornament . It is an emergency and a horn would help because shouting worked effectively while I was steadily evading at slow speed while flicking all them black buttons with my left hand. The lady backing up decided she was too close to the cross walk and couldn't, wouldn't, or didn't see the motorcycle eight feet behind her back bumper. Reverse on my motorcycle is only as fast as them feet push and the car behind me is a stopping point. The lady digging for her cell phone hadn't realized that she had removed pressure from her brake and was steadily decreasing the distance between her and the motorcycle in front of her. I was steadily inching up into the intersection with traffic flowing past me while steadily hitting all those black buttons with my left hand. Both times I seen it coming fairly quickly. I evaded the crush damage safely but I was running out of room quickly. Glad they finally applied brakes instead of stomping the gas pedal and running me down anyway. I hate being stopped in traffic for any reason. Always makes me feel like a sitting duck.
This is ironic. When I want to use my horn in an emergency I end up hitting the left turn signal about 50% of the time. The ironic part is when I'm in a rush to use my left turn signal I end up hitting the horn instead.
same here...if I go to use it I never get the right button
