I just think it's useless in a driver release area. If I know if there's a dog in the yard sure I'll hit it. Or if someone is backing out of a driveway. But for the few times that it might save me a few seconds it seems ridiculous. Kinda like calling out Hello UPS! when you ring and knock. Silly.
I used to think that way, but it does work. Cant tell you how many times I pulled up in front of a house,tapped the horn.......................................and by the time I got the package off the shelf. The customer was already half way to my truck!

not in December here at 20 below. here they will watch you walk up their un-shoveled walk way of 8-10 inches.

I wish they would simply install they back-up beepers. Half the time I use the horn people think I'm telling them to go ahead and do whatever it was they were doing, rather than me letting them know I'm providing a safety feature for them.
Unsolved walk way equals no delivery! Its one thing if you got some snow in the middle of the day and somebody wasnt home to shovel it! ITS another thing when people are just plain lazy!.Safety first....lol

That’s Craptacular
What if there are cars already parked in the driveway?

Then just walk OVER the cars, alright? I despise back up beepers.

I think I only hear car alarms going off maybe twice a year. Not sure what kind of area you live in that you are sharing that ruckus that often

I wish all this were just theoretical and had no bearing in the real world:

Ive just made it habit to honk all the time.. Just short tap honks.. Even my on car during the safety ride was saying "you dont gotta honk that much" i just told him better safe than sorry!
Shoot, after a day, they were lucky if I hung them at the mailbox.

last winter had a delivery no snow shoveled. at least 10 inches. Women opens up her door in her mid thirties. asks where did I leave her package, as I was walking back to the truck. I pointed to the garage door. Next day her husband had it shoveled.
Need a big shovel......for this thread!

There is an appropriate time, place and reason to use the horn. As a professional driver with 26 years of experience and area knowledge, I am a far better judge of when/where/how to use the horn than some supervisor whose only concern is to blindly obey whatever flavor-of-the-week edict is currently being issued forth from Atlanta.
Insincerity
I'm Insincere
If UPS pays me to blow the horn, I blow the horn.
If customers don't like it, I refer them to my management.
