Can we be India's first "No Honking" group?
« Thread Started on May 23, 2008, 11:17pm »

Vehicles are among the chief noise producers in modern times and its no doubt that 2-wheelers are the major contributors. We never like being honked but we always like honking, don’t' we? Congested roads in countries like India are having worst situation and no where near it seem lessening. People honk even if its red lights and the patience in road users are minimal. It’s simply unspoken that no one would like to be told, what to do and what not to do while riding/driving. As they say, if you want a change, be the first and start from yourself and the rest might/might not follow. Therefore, I would propose every N.O.W. rider (and who ever reading this and rides/drives) to be little more patient and humble on road and use almost zero honking while riding unless and until it’s really urgent.
Doesn’t matter, if you reach somewhere 5 minutes late but knowingly or unknowingly you will contribute to environment and practise good and responsible road etiquettes.

Please pledge here by replying that you will not honk unnecessarily and at inappropriate places (near hospitals, school, and religious gatherings) and will support this initiative that N.O.W. group has endeavour.

thanks for comments ritesh, but even though such kind of bad and unreasonable riding/driving etiquette are unlikely to be noticed and realized, putting up this even in media won't do any good to the situation, I suppose.
The change has to initiated by one person to hundreds and later on to thousands and millions. Ofcourse, many would laugh off by saying "what you saying? this is India" but thats just show how easily we can plegde NOT to even try to make things better.
