Where I live it’s only legal to use the horn to prevent serious situations, so someone doing this could (and would) be fined by police/eventually lose their license.
Even in places where this isn’t directly illegal, is it illegal to make loud noises after certain hours? If so, that could be a reason to call the police or make some kind of official complaint against the driver.
Also, have you tried talking to this person? Maybe they don’t realize that its disrupting literally everyone (a lot of people forget that other people are not just NPCs).
I haven’t tried talking to them. We don’t really interact with the neighbor whose house this person goes to. And it usually happens late enough that I’m in my pajamas. I’m not going to storm out in my PJs and ask the person to be quiet.
There’s also the violence factor to consider. Too many people seem to go right from a slight (real or imagined) to “open fire.” The college kid who recently was killed while they turned around in a guy’s driveway? That happened an hour away from me. I’m frankly afraid that I’d go to their car to ask them to be quiet and they’d decide “time to ‘defend myself’ with this gun.”
