** Note that, in a real car crash, having the horn keep blaring after impact is a ''good'' thing, as it may help attract rescuers to the site and can warn approaching drivers to avoid the wrecked vehicle.

** Another common cause of this phenomenon IRL is that many modern cars have the horn switch integrated into the soft plastic of the steering wheel hub. Guess what else is in that hub? The airbag. The act of the airbag exploding through the steering wheel hub can trigger (or completely rip off) the horn switch, causing it to continually sound until the car's battery is disconnected or the ECU reset.
