To honk the people in front of me in the traffic light and when the light turn green, he just realize that his gear aren't set.
To honk to the sleeping driver or to the driver who are on the phone while driving.
To honk to the dogs and cats so they can stop before cross the street. To honk to the duck and chicken so they can prepare their self to fly while crossing the street.
Not to honk the girls. It's rude and it's a sexual harrasement. Why sexual harrasement ? Well, when you honk you can blow the girl's skirt or maybe you'll give them a heart attack. You'll end up in jail.

The air horn is a device designed to create an extremely loud noise. It is usually composed of a pressurized air source coupled to a horn through a valve which allows the device to be turned on and off. Air horns have been installed on large semi-trailer trucks, fire trucks, and some ambulances for many years. It is also used on trains, also as a warning device.
Emergency vehicles
Many fire trucks, ambulances, and other large emergency vehicles operate air horns as a means of warning vehicles to clear the right-of-way. These may include traditional "truck" style air horns, or stuttertone air horns, which produce an easily recognizable tone. Many US firetrucks have stuttertone air horns installed.
There are also electronic varieties of "air horns" for emergency vehicles, which produce a similar easily-recognizable sound. These are typically integrated into the same system as the vehicle's electronic siren, and sound through the same speakers. There are also air-horn only systems available, which some states allow for use by volunteers in their personal vehicles.
