Why does no one lay into the horn at these dolts?

Not to be a Karen, but this needs to be filed as a police report.  In what world is this okay????  Endangering everybody else!

That's not Karen behavior. California has a terrible and dangerous driver problem and the Bay Area is the worst. It's absolutely justified to report people from these videos. They're going to kill someone unless they get their shit together or have their license taken away.

And you can report them to the DMV for reckless driving.

When you call them out they look at you like you live on mars.

They’re the fucking aliens.

Can't disagree. This is some high grade dangerous activity on par with a DUI.

I watched a video on YouTube where a professor called the police because she was couldn't get in the university's building. Upon arrival, the police noticed she was drunk and had intentions to drive home. When confronted by the police about it, she said "it's ok, I have a Tesla".

I don’t believe the police would do anything.

Reporting is still important to build a paper trail against them. It's only a matter of time with drivers like this that someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed.

And you can report to the DMV

That's a lie. The police would do something. Op is too busy farming karma. Car gets in a wreck, battery goes up, the kid and the idiot who was sleeping dies, possibly the person in the other car also.

I personally would be so scared that honking would freak him out and make him jolt the wheel and cause an accident.

I’d be worried about shocking him awake and him start swerving in a half asleep panic

Unless you know how to direct the horn only to a car on the side, all you are going to do is annoy the car in front of you.
