You could try yelling "get out of my way you f*^&^%) stupid p)$%%£"! W!*&^% B*^$£ PLEASE!"
It wouldn't do to not say please now would it?

The scene:
I'm on a single track quiet country lane, approaching two pedestrians from behind who are walking side
by side in the centre of this 2.5 meter wide road ... but with a meter gap between. (Common round my way).
I 'm aiming for the gap between them as it is the wider option.
I ping my EU regulation handlebar bell but they're too busy yakking to hear it.
I ping it again, getting closer, this time they both turn around to look, both in the same direction, both
making that "gap" in between them disappear!! Brakes on!!
So i chucked the bell.
I want to sound like a car ... so i fitted a car horn and tiny 15 volt lithium battery pack.
After 2 weeks the pedestrians were out.
The horn was used ... it worked ... pedestrians didn't bother looking, they just instinctively moved to the
edge of the road.
I suspect anything not sounding like a car (airzound, squeezy horn, etc) would invoke the usual
curious "look round to see whats coming because that isn't a car" response rather than a "oh there's a car coming, i'd better move" instinctive response.
Has anyone else tried a car-horn on the bike?
