blindly. I was almost hit the other day when I was slowly pulling out of my garage by someone flying down the street. The streets are no substitute speedways,” adds Afzal.
“I live in Fazal Town Phase-1 and experience incessant honking day and night. Car drivers and bikers use our residential street to speed down. It drives me nuts. Once a day we get some idiot literally standing on his horn for several seconds,” says Shaista Taqi, running a beauty parlor.
Hamid Raza from Faisal Colony says: “Pulling up near your house and laying on the horn to get the door opened for you or laying on the horn to get other people in the house to come join you in the car is way too common. It's a sign of being extremely lazy if school van drivers honk horn in front of the home for students to come outside. What is so hard about turning off the car, stepping out the car, walking to the door, and knocking or ringing the doorbell?”
“Honking in the street is a constant source of frustration. Instead of lightly tapping horn, some simply lean on it for many seconds. I think even the light tap on the horn, when multiplied by 50 times a day, becomes incredibly annoying. It's not neighborly, it's thoughtless,” adds Hamid.
