It's almost feasible to consider a system that directly controls the length of the sounding for a single 'use' in proportion to the current vehicle speed. While not perfect for all situations, it would remove an element of threat that some drivers seem to feel as the control is taken away from the horn user. Just a thought...

The regular horn for when it's volume and tone is the required level. Plus a slightly less aggressive sound, perhaps a nice clear bell.

Nooooo - lets not encourage more control to be removed... we still have amongst the best driving in the world - we don't need to dumb it down further - removing control leads to removing or moving responsibility - that is not a good thing

Thank you, that could be the answer; but I still prefer the horn ring as used on the Jaguars. IMHO that worked very nicely.
