Blow horn please stop ok Awaz kado / awazdo

I take it you're also reading the back of the trucks, too. My experience is West Bengali. Honk to tell car you're approaching. Honk to tell car you're next to them. Honk to tell them you've passed. Honk at scooter. Honk at crosswalk. Honk at turn. Honk at red light. Honk at green light. Honk at any car in front of you. Drive on shoulder. Drive on walking path. Honk at pedestrians. Honk at train. Honk at bus.

Oh no

The buses

Fuck

deDeDEDede deDeDEDede deDeDEDede alllll fucking night. Sequential 3-tone horns in any sequence. My hotel faced the highway.

I can deal with aggressive driving. The horns made me sorely miss the inoffensive chaos of Mexico.
