It is an honest expression of the terror I feel, serves some of the purpose of a horn, and attempts to instill in the motorist some sense of the effect of his action on others. My scream had to be learned: my natural reaction is to silently try to get out of harm's way as quickly as possible. I still do the latter, but accompanied by the former. Anne H.
