On our first Tuk Tuk ride I kept seeing this phrase on the
back of vehicles.
What does this mean? This is not English as I know it. Are
they saying “Use your horn, okay? Please??” or “Stop honking your horn please,
okay?” Why are cars instructing other cars on horn usage?
By the end of the trip we determined that this was a request
to use your horn (which is weird for us living in a city where there are signs
posted everyone with fines for using your horn). We observed that it was mostly
slow moving vehicles, Tuk Tuks and trucks, that had this message and we
hypothesized that it is a request to faster vehicles to give a little honk if
they were going to try to pass them. This actually came in very useful when we
were in those faster vehicles, recklessly passing the slower guys. So I’m
totally okay with horns, please.
