Don't ride like they "can't see you".
Ride like they CAN see you and are TRYING TO KILL YOU.
Exactly. I like to call it "defensive aggressive".
Being able to operate all the controls at the appropriate time is one of the basic skills of riding a motorcycle.
If using any of the controls is a "distraction" from riding the bike I submit that you are not qualified to ride in the first place.
The horn is just as key as the throttle, brakes, clutch and kill switch to name a few other controls.
To be ready to use the horn in a situation where it may save you, you need to practice. To say the horn will never save you or if you're using the horn "it's already too late." is IMO pretty silly.
A good horn is another item in your safety tool set. Learn how to use it.

Back in the 70's I stopped using my car horn after honking at others three times within one year. Each time, the driver got of his car and wanted to punch my lights out. I was in the right in each case, but so what; they were all bigger and angrier than me.
So, come on you loud horn guys. Let us know when you use it and the response you get. We are all willing to learn.
