Yanking your Horn – think before you do it!!!

1000 plus thoughts in your head walking your side of the road, maybe you are heading to your home, office or some other matter I bet on it could be protest rally or some sort. Suddenly, laud horn blew to your ears and goes pass by you – bike, car, taxi, buses and even safa tempos dare to yank their little horn here and there. The jerk you got due to that sudden noise, it's more than electric shock. How often you felt like grab the neck of that driver and smack couple of times and later beg him please not to do in bleeding face. Pedestrian were left to swear themselves when such incidents happens.

 

We really lost the cause of why manufacturers had put such irritating sound called horn in vehicle. Maybe it meant for to caution something called people, animals in the road but it seems we lost that reasons in our road in Nepal. If there is minor traffic, no matter what just press the horn as if that other vehicle will just jump from its track and leave way for incoming vehicle, if that what it meant than horn is really good.

 

We, people had become so careless, we don't bother its hospital area or school area or whatever area where it's prohibited to blew horn. We are up and ready to press horn wherever and whenever. Out in the road, it's the dust and vehicle smoke which is unbearable, above that all types of horn from bike to buses different kind of sound hit your ears which is just a step away from split.  

 

So if you are reading this (you punk!!! for those who do not care about proper use of horn) what you felt you must do??
