Chennai
I live on Poonamallee High Road that sees heavy traffic almost every day during peak hours. I notice that even when the vehicles are not moving, the drivers tend to blow the horn. I wonder how they expect the vehicle in front of them to move? There are hospitals on the stretch too, but people still continue to honk.
When I travel with my parents and the cars wait at the signal, people start honking the moment the signal light turns green. They do not even wait. The sound of the horn coming from big vehicles is deafening and could distract other drivers.
My parents say that it is considered rude to horn abroad. We should bring that mentality to India.
