Honking.
I liked that my Volt being Electric had two horns on it a one very polite beep and the regular one.
Very cool. I wish all cars had a gentle second horn.
I was out driving a gas car on a residential street in the country, no sidewalks. Two older folks were in the middle of the road for a casual walk facing away from me. They were oblivious to me for quite a bit. Had to honk the regular horn and maybe scared the pee out of them. I waved friendly like as they moved aside to soften the blast.

Now is the time for me to put in a plug (no pun intended) for forward, rear and side facing dash cams that have parking mode, such as the Rexing R4 Plus dash cam. But, in order to have parking mode operational, it needs to be hard wired to the power supply. Best Buy did mine.

The only problem with this thinking IS the power supply. The Mavericks are very well know to have battery/charging issues. It'll either be deep sleep or dead battery and still no recording in parking mode

Since the OP has a video of the accident, he stated the driver was under the influence, what would the dash cam do? Just curious why everyone needs 360 video recording 24/7. If you are insured and a police report is filed the camera does nothing really. Please educate me on the need for the dash cam since I can;t think of one except to prove I rear ended somebody or they rear ended me and the physical evidence will prove that.
Just one example is if another vehicle collided with it in a parking lot and left, there could be evidence as to who did it. Another example is if someone is involved in an accident, there could be a video record.
