Horn OK Please

Indian traffic regulations are just suggestions.   - monkeetime.com -

If you keep complaining about malaysian terrible traffic, you are damn wrong, because you haven't experienced indian traffic yet. It seems like honking is part of indian driving culture. Wherever there is a road in India, there will be continuous honking sound from 6 am to 12 am. After 3 weeks staying in India, I had troubles crossing the roads in Malaysia, because the continuous honking doesn't exists in Malaysia. It is so funny because I was so get used to the sound already.

The honking is annoying at first, and is always annoying. At first, I simply couldn't understand why the hell they honk. They honk almost every second during driving, even the roads in front of them is clear. But after some while, I think I understand now. They honk to give signal, to tell other people that they are coming. Because everyone is not looking at the road before crossing it, the drivers must honk. The indians are also so numb to the honking, the cars honk, and they would slowly move their asses, unlike me or other malaysians (well i assume), the honking would freak us out, and we would run like hell if the cars are coming.

The following pictures are showing how common the honking in India is, almost every vans and lorries have the sign "Horn OK Please".

Indian traffic is famous because it is terrible. But I think it is wrong to say their driving skill is terrible too. I am actually impressed by their driving skill. Everyone drives so close together on the road but they rarely bump into each other, or crash. 

If I am given a sentence to sum up indian traffic, I would say this,

If you given a vehicle in India, you still wouldn't be able to drive on the road because you simply don't know how to.
