Well, how about the times you're behind some moron at a red light and he's so busy with his cell phone he doesn't notice that the light has changed? You tap your horn to let him know it is now okay to proceed, and he gets all upset like it's your fault. I've had people flip me off and get pretty vocal when I tried to let them know the light had changed to green while they were yakking away.
Click and Clack had the right idea: "Hang up and drive".
Like I said, annoying but not a safety issue. They’ve just replaced the annoying guys who insisted on taking their cars out of gear even when they’re first in line and the light is due to change. Then they act all surprised as they clutch in, shove it in gear and then clutch out. Thankfully automatics have made that almost a thing of the past.
Besides, there’s already an impeding law for those guys.
