The book mentions how the first choice people make during conflict is whether to confront or avoid the other person. The example used in the book is about a car that might not have been aware that the light turned green.
In this situation, I wouldn’t honk at the other driver. I would probably just wait patiently and avoid conflict. If for some reason I see the driver on their cell phone then I would honk at the driver because then I can assume that they are more concerned about the phone call rather than what is happening on the road.
Also, If I was not in a good mood that day then I would honk because my patients level would probably be at a low point. Overall, I think people would handle this situation in my different ways, but my first choice is not to honk, unless that person takes longer than 5 seconds to realize the light changed.
