Near miss incident while driving. Attempted to operate horn to alert other driver crossing into my lane. Needed to take hand off steering wheel to operate horn. Chose not to use horn as it would compromise driving and instead accelerated and swerved. Horn located in center of steering wheel is a safety hazard as it requires one hand off steering wheel in typically a situation where driver should have both hands on wheel. Suggest standard should be thumb/trigger style horn such as on many japanese models.
