Sitting here listening to some moron blow his horn constantly for the last 15 minutes! Does anybody know what their phucking obsession with horns is? And why can they all find the horn but not the turn signal that is a couple of inches away? Things that make you go hmmm :shock:

seems to be a universal thirdworld thing :mrgreen:
what i find more amazing is with all the horns there is very little cursing, gesticulating and violence in general. in the states horn blowing like that gets you killed.

haha Was thinking the same thing. :D Do that in a major city in the US and guns will come out. Doesn't seem to be a lot of road rage here, so I guess if honking keeps the violence down, it's not a terrible thing.

in india and sri lanka it was the worst i had ever seen. makes costa rica look civilized by comparison. for one they have roundabouts and seem to have this game of rushing into a glut of traffic horns blowing and forcing their way through. i was really trying to figure out why they were doing it and so i started watching the drivers faces. there was this look of sly satisfaction as if they had somehow won something in that moment of madness.
but they never so much as look at each other. weird shit.

Try West Africa, same deal. It's how it is, they also don't drive like we do either but that's the way things go.
