Glad I live in So Cal, we have obnoxious drivers but no one uses their horns around here.
The ban is not a solution for New York nor would a ban help in FIRST. I certainly would not want to curb ones freedom of speech which is a heart of the above article. Certainly I would not want to deny my right to say certain behavior is obnoxious. Going back to sand drag's original post, mandating people to yell robot is just as bad.
Is honking a lot making the world safer, no. Could it be used to communicate displeasure at another driver, yes (so 1st amendment?). For yelling "robot", its over use does not make things safer, as people ignore honking, so are people going to ignore "robot". A few cases I noticed yelling "robot" is used to express displeasure of crowding a pit lane.
I could see "robot" working if used for rare circumstances (like a team distracted and blocking during a team photo) but not a the frequency rate I have observed.
