Honking in traffic has become such a problem, creating so much noise, that the Mumbai police hatched a plan. When people honked at red lights, which they often do to get other drivers ready to go, the lights stayed red. “This is what we wanted to tell them: Honking or making noise doesn’t move the traffic,” explained Pranaya Ashok, a Mumbai police spokesman. Indians in every corner of the country are laughing about it; officials in several other places now want to rig their traffic lights with honking meters, too. According to an old saying in India, to drive well all you need are four simple things: a good car, good eyes, good luck and a good horn.
