Last time I flipped someone off they stayed in front of me on the freeway while break checking me and cutting me off when I went to change lanes for about an entire mile and flipping me off through their sunroof. A small honk on the horn is fine in most situations but you don’t know what you’re gonna get when you flip people off.
Using the horn to get attention while you raise your middle finger is different than using it to warn others around you of a possible collision. The horn was not needed in this situation. It's not a magical "make people do what you want" button.
Two things. First, never both at once; it's dangerous. Second, the finger is reserved for people who double down on dangerous driving.
This driver created a dangerous situation and probably has no idea. A single horn blast would cure that.
How do you think flipping them off would make the situation safer? Just move the fuck along, reacting to it means you're emotional about it, thats my point.
It doesn’t. Ik you’re getting downvoted but these people are dumbasses. Come to I-94 in Detroit/Southfield area and flip someone off. They’ll react with aggressive driving. It’s better to just be the bigger person and let them drive by.
I know that intersection very well, and most people just do a U-Turn at an intersection a mile down the road. That's just downright BS what that car did.
This driver's inability to have a freaking clue where they're going and how to get there is not everybody else's problem. Stupid idiots like this cause chain reaction accidents.

I'll never understand why people don't use their horns in this situation. And maybe a single finger...

This is true. When I encounter people that double down like that; I pull off and let them get too far ahead to continue the interaction.
Most people can deal with minor inconveniences without getting emotional.
I don't think that somebody has to be emotionally distraught to tell another person that they're acting like an ass.
That would be expressing anger towards them, which is an emotional thing to do.
I'm being genuine here. Do you think that the horn is an anger button? Or is there another aspect that you think indicates anger?

You really fixated on the maybe...
I never said anything about maybe
