The AAUI President Urges You To Lay Off The Horn - For Everyone's Benefit, Including Your Own!
autoX
|June 2017
Blaring horns and incessant honking is the norm on Indian roads – particularly in the metros. Regrettably, honking is a mind-set – and our collective mind-set seems to be to honk like nobody’s business.
While most Indians are habituated to this kind of noise pollution, motorists in many other countries are not legally and socially permitted to honk unnecessarily. In many nations, honking is likened to verbal abuse.
Unfortunately, in our country, such senseless and rather violent action is not restricted to just the less educated. Even the well-educated, with established status, seem to take a fancy to this kind of rowdy behaviour.
