Yup, and even though you have pulled over the line of cars behind you now has to pay more attention to make sure they can safely pass you without running into one another. So everyone must quickly wake up and concentrate. By the time they realize that you were just being nice they are way ahead of you and accelerating away.
Also, with the modern vehicles that I have with the air bag in the wheel, it's hard to bump the horn button lightly. Every time I try to beep it comes our sounding like a angry burst.
