Thinking of annoying habits reminds of people who honk needlessly when struck in a traffic jam... some people honk to their heart's content even if is quite evident that it will take more than few seconds for the traffic to clear or disperse.

I was once driving on an empty road and the driver behind was constantly blowing his horn. Every time I would makw way for him to overtake he would not do so. I blocked him at a narrow stretch and asked him why he was constantly horning - as i driving wrongly. He laughed and said as he likes to sing while driving horn provides music. !!!!

Ha.haa....it is good to enjoy one's drive but not at other people's cost or inconvenience. Some do to attract and seek other's attention if they are riding a new bike or driving a car...

A case of severe nutcase in my opinion! Honking horns unnecessarily while driving should be made a punishable offense and liable for heavy fines. Once I had taken out one of our clients from UK to our city centre for shopping on the prominent Laxmi Road area. There was so much honking of horns and terrible noise in general, she was very much disconcerted and asked me if something wrong had happened in that area! When I told her no, it was normal here, she was really stunned and said that if they became so much nosiy in her country, they all would have spent a night in the jail! She asked me to my utter embarrassment whether we do not have any concern of causing trouble to the babies and the elderly and sick! :blink:

Exactly, honking without any reason should be punishable. But if you come to think of it, how many things can be controlled by mere punishment, why can't people be more alert and morally educated. Why do we have to have punishment or fine for every little thing?

On the contrary, during my visits, I have found it very unsettling that no one uses horns in many Western countries and the silence is disturbing for some one used to hearing them all the time.

Exactly...but then as a nation we have developed or to be more precise, underdeveloped as responsible citizens so we have to be policed in all matters. If that were not so, then our country would not be so dirty!

That is why even they do not mind the horns! And since as rule, Indians ARE noisy and noise-loving people so it is unsettling for us when in foreign countries we do not hear the traffic noise as we are generally used to! When I was In England for sometime, after finishing work at 5:30 pm I used to walk home, the shops would all be closed by then, streets would all be deserted and with not even a dog on the roads (there never are any stray dogs or animals) so I used to be very disconcerted initially, even scared. BUt then I got used to it and learnt to enjoy the solitude for I knew it was going to short-lived! :cheer:

On a lighter note..I prefer noisy stray dogs than noisy and boisterous humans! Also, I don't think policing will do any good...with all due respect this will become yet another way how police can manipulate and harass civilians and make asking for fines a 3rd or 4th income out of policing!
