Honking, a major contributor to Noise pollution. | Source: Businessline 'Horn Mar' (Blow horn) shouted my dad from the passenger seat as I drove past another slow car. I obliged, as honking on unknown vehicles was more peaceful than getting into an argument with my father. I have been driving since I was 18, which is also the minimum eligible age for driving in India. 9 years of driving in and outside India has taught me one important lesson, 'Watch for others'. No matter how careful you are while driving, there is going to be that one rookie who will collide with your vehicle and cause a lot of damage. Despite being always afraid, I love driving in India, it's challenging. We Indians drive like every single inch of the road and the land next to it is also a property of the drivers and it can be used as one pleases. Hence, we do not follow lane discipline, we do not give right of way to pedestrians, we sometimes do not wait for the light to turn green, and we pretty much always keep honking.
