Honk/Horn Language Proposal for Federal Union of India

Bheema.Upadhyaya - 5-OCT-2012

After practising driving for more than 15 years and experimenting with DD, I feel honking is part of life, though I use this "feature" sparingly. But seeing other folks who restlessly honk in this crowded world of India, may I propose a new honking code language specific to India. Something similar to ASCII, morse codes? 

My experiments with lane driving

Bheema.Upadhyaya - 10-NOV-2010

After we saw good inputs on this post , I was really interested how would it really look like if some one practised lane driving. So I have given a try in my own way in Hosur Road, which has now clearly marked 3 lanes from Silk Board to Electronic City.

Ban honking - proposal

mbnataraj - 16-MAY-2010

Dear Honorable Authorities in power who can do something, You all are also victims of all these problems facing us 24/7. and you have the powers to make a difference.

Please DO.
 
Enclosed a request to Ban honking in Bangalore, submitted to prior authorities 3 years ago. without any perceptible results so far.

1) Honking: The problem has become extremely  acute because between then and now almost EIGHT LAKHS (800 per day x 1000 days) have been added in to the unchanged 4,500 kms roads of Bengaluru. These have added almost 1.5 MILLION TONS of pollutants (1500 tons/day) into the air around Bangalore.

Every honk disturbs 8000 individuals at the present rate of population density in Bangalore. Honking has been known to encourage reckless driving rather than being an index of careful driving. No accident has so far occurred due to proven failure to honk. Infact all accidents honking does happen but accidents still occur probably due to recklessness arising out of overconfidence in honking.

Delhi Metro - Things to be learnt from it

Vasanth - 26-AUG-2007

After watching the program on Discovery on Delhi Metro, I was really amazed the way in which it has been done within India and an international channel like discovery has appreciated it. Vision of one man - Shreedharan is amazing. Following are the things I felt that should be incorporated in our Bangalore Metro.

Honking Horror of Vehicles

ranga - 24-MAR-2010

I could see off late many vehicles especially Two Wheelers and the new car drivers seems to be in a great hurry on the road, they simply Honk for no reason and they honk on police signals, as if with their honk the singal is going to fall green and they can move.

Such attitude on the road is really disturbing people and other drivers on the road, which is unwarranted. Pls Honk only when it is required, otherwise enjoy riding, by hearing an FM with headphones or in your car audio and drive. If you see anybody honking behind you especially an call centre vehicle's pls allow him to go, so that he doesn't create more noise pollution.
