I drive in a foreign country a lot of the time.
Horns and hazard warning lights are well-used (and often-used) pieces of the vehicle’s equipment. They certainly have applicability in the USA to a greater extent than they currently are employed. IMHO, of course

Here in the US hardly anyone uses their turn signals when making turns much less when changing lanes.
I can remember when failure to signal a lane change would get you a ticket and a stern lecture from the ticketing officer.
Now the COPS don’t even use that forgotten piece of mandatory equipment.
Times and places for anything - I drove in Italy and Germany for a few years and Italy really required one to be alert - they use their headlights to ‘claim” a lane, wasn’t odd for someone to straddle a center-line and start flashing his lights to get both directions to move over and give him pass-age...in the early morning, before the sun came up, one had to be alert for low lights of a lantern hanging off the axle of a horse-drawn wagon, even on the autostrada, as a farmer made his way to the fields...alertness and situational awareness are key.
