| On the night of 3/13/13 i was driving on a two lane road with my lights on. i was traveling east through an intersection where the cross road only had to stop and i had the right of way. a vehicle traveling south failed to stop at the stop sign. i was unable to sound my horn and had to run off the road to avoid a collission. the horn on the 2011 aveo is only 1 x 1 1/4 on each side the center of the steering wheel. they are so small and hard to find, that a person driving must take their eyese off the road to find them during the day time. at night a light must be turned on to find them because they are not illuminated. i feel this is a serious safety issue because of the small size and difficulty to find without loosing sight of the road. | |||
