The opening scene of this video has a youth on his motorbike who looks like a happy-go-luck man. But wait. The next scene has another man driving his car. This man in his car is talking to someone on his mobile phone. He is telling them (over the phone) that he is on his way and he will be there soon.
The traffic signal, on the other hand, has already turned red. Just then the man in his car begins profusely honking. The happy-go-lucky man who is ahead of this man gets off his motorbike and the conversation begins. The man gets off his motorbike and asks the man who is in his car if he has insurance for his car. The motorbike rider in a fit of anger tries to smash the windshield of the man’s car. But he refrains from doing so.
This motorbike rider tells the man in his car that if he has no rights to break his car’s windshield, the man in his car too has no rights to break his eardrum. This is the message of the close to five-minute video courtesy Coimbatore Chapter of Young Indians (Yi). This awareness video is launched as a part of Yis project christened Horn Not OK Please (HNOP). This video is worth a watch as it educates users of the ill-effects of uncalled for honking on the roads.
The aim of HNOP project is to educate the public to avoid excessive honking on Indian roads. Through this project, Yi is also aiming to promote smarter driving habits among road users. HNOP project we are told has been endorsed by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Traffic, S. Saravanan.
Vehicle honking contributes to more than 70% of noise pollution in the city. Exposure to the sound of continues honking can cause damage to human ears and it can also result in the victim suffering from stress, hypertension, depression and heart attack too. Sadly, a majority of vehicle horns that are used in India produce the sound that is over 110 decibels.
