Silent Driving !
Would feel great if this happens in India right ?
the same thing started to my mind a month before and I started exercising it for myself ...
believe me after putting in some efforts on temptation to push horn while driving, it was not an impossible task, what is required is some amount of patience and forgiveness .. and that's it.
what makes you angry to push hard on horn ?
1) when a 2-wheeler guy driving in mid of road on slow speed even road is clear ... I keep driving silently for same time I used to do previously (by pushing hard on horn) and ~99% of the time the person moves aside on his own
2) when 2/3/4 wheeler pops out from sub-way onto the main road (inherently in India no one bothers about traffic on main road before plunging on to highway !) .... instead of shouting on him, I reduce my vehicle speed to let him go, anyway u horn or not it dosen';t matter for that person, he is going to plunge !
3) when a Truck is driving amid road (theoretically they are supposed to be driving on LHS of road in India) .. giving hi-beam flash helps most of the time ... only u hv to gv him some time to move on one side ... or if road is clear .. i overtake from the left hand side (with due care)
list can be extended to any extent .. however what is important is control on you and give some breathing time tom exercise this habit of "Silent Driving"
So if I am successful .. so as you would be .. try it and post in comments to get special appreciation from me :-)
Last week (W4 Feb 2012) I was driving down to Bhimashankar alongwith my friends .. during complete drive i did not use horn .. while we were passing through a small village road where there was crowd .. i was pretty slow ... since it was weekyl bazar daya .. there was some crowd, although once people understand there is a car i was getting space to move on .. looking at this my friend was astonished .. he asked me to put loud horn continuous ! he was not able to understand that even i put loud horn the crowd will not disappear in a second ! anyway ... I was able to complete the 100 kms ride silently :-)
Cheers .. happy Silent Driving
