Back Story:

This morning I was driving to work at around 5:00 AM. I came to my first red light which quickly turned to green...but I did not drive.

The car in front of me was either still asleep, texting, or just not realizing it had gone green. No worries - happens to EVERYONE.

Instead of beeping (like people normally do), I decided to flash my lights. I figured it was way too early to beep, even if I did the gentle "beep beep" not the lay-on horn beep.

The person in front of me drove on, and I went my merry way.

The question: Should you honk your horn or flash your lights when stuck behind someone at a green light?

I host the morning show on 97.5 WOKQ with my co-host, Kira. Kira said I was out of my mind for flashing. That flashing was MORE invasive and ruder than beeping.

I was appalled. No way, right?

The answer:

Flashing your lights is a better option than beeping.

We took this question to the people of New England. About 20% of the people who called, messaged, etc. were a fan of beeping over-honking.

The other 80% were in favor of people flashing their lights to remind someone to go at a green light.

Case closed - flashes over honks people.
