St. Petersburg, Florida - Matt Heller's horn will stop you in your tracks.
"I was driving a low-rider car and people would run me off the road." So six years ago, he installed a locomotive horn in his car as a response. Now his company Hornblasters supplies horn kits all over the world.
But it is the videos of him blasting pedestrians that has been getting thousands of hits on the Internet. The videos show pedestrians, other drivers and people on the street shuddering from the blow of the horn.
The horns can send more than 150 decibels from the car which, can cause permanent hearing damage. Recently Matt Heller received his first ticket for a noise violation, which he plans to fight.
It is not illegal to sell or buy a horn blaster, but the environmental protection commission regulates sound at stationary sources with a max of 60 decibels in the day and 55 at night.
