To curb increasing noise pollution it is necessary to limit the decibel levels of all automotive horns. All Indian drivers of all automoted vehicles, are big toots and the louder they can toot their horns the big tootier they feel.
In India, a vehicle’s horn is not considered an accessory to be used sparingly and only as an auditory warning to avoid accidents. A horn is deemed to be as necessary an aid to propulsion as the engine of the vehicle, without the energetic use of which no movement is possible.
Indian drivers have to navigate elaborately designed obstacle courses thinly diguised as roads, complete with cavernous potholes, periodic monsoon floods, pedestrians, stray cows, dogs, sundry other animal species, and assorted vehicular traffic ranging from bullock carts to BMWs, much of it going the wrong way. Without the constant and clamorous- and the more clamorous the better- use of the horn, the entire nation would come to a gridlocked halt.
Let’s try to make ‘less-horn India’ , then gradually a ‘horn-less India’.
