description: IT HAPPENED IN ONE AFTERNOON IN A COMPANY PARKING LOT WHEN ALL THE EMPLOYEES WERE LEAVING FOR THE WEEKEND. THE EXIT LINE WAS BACKED UP AND WHILE WAITING IN LINE FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, ANOTHER EMPLOYEE BACKED UP HER CAR FROM THE PARKING SPACE. ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS MOVING SLOWLY, THE DRIVER WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO THE OTHER CARS PARKED ON SIDES BUT FAILING TO ASSURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE BEHIND. IMMEDIATLY I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A COLLISION AND I ACTIVATED THE HORN FOR AT LEAST 15 SECONDS. UNFORTUNATLY THE HORN WAS NOT LOUD ENOUGH FOR THE OTHER DRIVER TO HEAR IT (BY HER OWN ADMISSION THE HORN WAS INNAUDIABLE) AND THE COLISION COULD NOT BE AVOIDED. AS A RESULT THE CARS FRONT RIGHT FENDER WAS SLIGHTLY BENDED. THE DAMAGED RESULTED WAS VALUED AT $708. NEVERTHELESS, SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR THERE WERE AT LEAST FIVE OTHER INCIDENTS IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC WHEN THE HORN WAS NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS. *TR
