New York drivers: the most important people in the world

New York drivers are the most important people in the world.  I know this because I have had to isolate with COVID in a hotel room fourteen stories above Hell's Kitchen.

When someone displeases a driver in New York, they will hold their horn down for the whole time that they can still see the vehicle that has offended them.  This is often over a minute.

Fortunately, no-one else in the whole of New York can possibly matter, because this happens at all times of day and night. 

Thanks goodness that drivers have let everyone within four blocks in this densely packed city know that they have witnessed an example of bad driving, whilst being perfect themselves.

I look forward to leaving this nightmarish hellhole and only returning when it has been pedestrianised.
