Horn Please

Lauren Here

So other then the blog being our number 1 topic of conversation on this trip, traffic is a close second. As I am sure you have read, the traffic here is unlike any other traffic we have experienced and needs to be discussed every time we get in a car. One of the things that is second nature to the drivers here is using the horn. Being in the car so many times I have begun to decipher what the different horns mean as they are used to annouce almost anything and everything:
1 honk - I'm behind you
2 honks - You're going to slow for me
3 honks - You better look out I'm passing you
4 honks - I am passing you in what little space there is between the car and the side of the road, so you better move over because I have decided I have the right of way
5 honks - Hey, How ya doing?
6 honks - Have a nice day
7 honks - I think I'm a little hungry
8 honks - Look at that cow over there
9 honks - Uh Oh, it's crossing the road!
And if you dont hear any honks, look around and make sure everyone has their seatbelt on or you might have been ejected from the vehicle.

We've never been ejected, but have come close to it many times. Oh India!
