I’ve heard horn extensions can go wrong and there’s a chance you will be left with a massive horn that doesn’t work. I’d rather have a small horn than a broken horn.

Thats the advantage of having a huge horn when you see someone having a snooze in the passenger seat as they trundle past,you can’t help yourself,well I can’t anywayThe scowl followed by the finger is well worth it.
Try it when you see someone peeing at the roadside…wet shoes 
Women dangling small children who are desperate to pee is great; blowback onto mums dress 
Cue the Hillbilly Express

So I’m sat at some traffic lights when a car full of pretty girls pulls up next to me. They start gesturing for me to sound my horn, you know, like you do when you see a lorry. Unfortunately, my lorry has a bit of a gay, high pitched horn, like a Fiat Punto or something. It doesn’t reflect the size of the vehicle. Anyway, not wanting to disappoint the pretty girls, I give them a quick toot. Needless to say, they weren’t very impressed and drive off laughing while I’m left sat at the lights feeling dirty, used and inadequate. I wish I had a bigger horn. It’s the first time I’ve revealed my horn to a group of girls, it’s usually children and they’re much easier to impress. Has anybody else got a tiny horn and how do you cope with the humiliation of having to use it?
ROFL!! Aw ya wee soul.
same thing happened to me crabface, mind you i was on my nans bicycle at the time!..
I empathise though. I have a terrible horn that frequently leaves me frustrated.
I was queuing at a tannery in a one way system, jumped into passenger seat to make a bru. Lorry infront is sitting with curtains open. Next thing I see the reverse lights come on & bleeper starts. WTF?! I jump into driver seat and frantically turn the ignition so I can use the horn.
A pathetic ‘meeeeeep’ is emitted (MAN) which is useless. I’d have been better abandoning ship & waving like a loony cause he couldn’t see past his curtains & he certainly couldn’t hear me.
Ended up crushed with another drivers back doors all up in my face. Fnaar!

That’s terrible, the last thing you want when you’re having a brew is some random bloke’s dirty back doors all up in your face.
This is the one you need my friend

thats ok for bragging rights, but this fella knows how to have a laugh
Our Volvos have a choice of horn, a friendly little peep peep on the steering wheel and a full blown “GO AND STAND IN THE NAUGHTY CORNER” on the stalk, great idea.

I share the pain! I remember my first ever truck driving job, I was all exited driving a rigid merc up half way across the country through the night, on a quiet road I thought I’d try out the horn - a bit of a celebratory fanfare…
The weedy, muffled little buzzer which gargled to life was a real anti climax!
I understand your predicament, but i can muster up the horn at will having a DAF who always have made the horn easier to grab attention.
I relish the days when we had in our Volvo F88/89 the on roof twin horns complete with chains, which makes me ask if there are still any trucks out there with the chain operation, or are they all on the stalk now ?

Thanks, I’m actually incredibly handsome.
I know someone who has an old prison van that he’s converted into a motor home. His air horn is so big if he uses it in anger the air pressure drops and the brakes lock up. That is an impressive horn.
Seriously though, what is with these pathetic horns? If you heard mine, you would probably think an old lady on a mobility scooter was coming up behind you. The only reason I got into this game was for the massive horns and so far I’ve been very disappointed. I might go back to my old job.
I know a bloke who had one of those triple train horns mounted on the back of the cab it used to frighten the life out of people.
