A horn may well be useful for asserting your right of way and

Not if a van or bus driver pulls alongside you and then starts to
drift or turn left, as in the example given by Thweylan.

OK, but so far in that situation I've always managed to avoid being hit by
braking, turning left with the vehicle, or doing nothing at all. I think it
would be rare indeed for those tactics not to work *and* for there to be
time for a horn to be sounded, heard and acted upon.

I guess you don't ride somewhere that has lots of railings along the
edge of pavements.
