Horn honking inresidential areas becoming a norm

Some inconsiderate Pindiites honk horn on a peaceful residential streets early in the morning making residents really sick. If you feel like you need to honk, then you are probably going too fast or not being a very good driver.
“I live in Gulzare Quaid with my family on a quiet side street. However, there are car drivers who drive by my house every morning and love to lean on their horns. My neighbour gets a lift to work every morning. I know its 6:30 a.m. because the driver beeps his horn repeatedly to signal that he's there,” says Husnain Sheikh, a trader.
“I live along Saidpur Road and experience incessant honking day and night. It's an amazing cacophony. Extra insensitive folks will lay on their horns for the entire length of the road despite knowing it’s a congested area,” says Ali Nawaz, living there.
“Some drivers are rude to all the neighbours. If horn honking is a few times a day, that may be tolerable. But a horn every ten minutes for everyone who goes through the street is a serious problem for almost all who live around,” adds Nawaz.
“I live near the middle of Tench Bhatta Bazaar, which is plagued by honkers. A few months ago, a motorist hit a child speeding down in my street. These drivers are the same kinds of wonderful citizens who don't stop for pedestrians at Zebra Crossing or traffic signals. I question the intelligence of anyone who thinks honking horn repeatedly gives them the right to speed through a street,” says Azhar Hussain, a teacher.
Afzal Jafari, a retired colonel says: “I have never honked in my life, why because I drive slowly and use my eyes, the honkers I observe are driving too fast and therefore the honking does nothing as their speeding is the problem. Honking is no replacement for slow speed and using your eyes.”
“Car drivers and bikers are seen driving too fast down streets, even when there are speed bumps. For bikers a slot is kept open amidst bumps so they drive fast and blindly. I was almost hit the other day when I was slowly pulling out of my garage by someone flying down the street. The streets are no substitute speedways,” adds Afzal.
“I live in Fazal Town Phase-1 and experience incessant honking day and night. Car drivers and bikers use our residential street to speed down. It drives me nuts. Once a day we get some idiot literally standing on his horn for several seconds,” says Shaista Taqi, running a beauty parlor.
Hamid Raza from Faisal Colony says: “Pulling up near your house and laying on the horn to get the door opened for you or laying on the horn to get other people in the house to come join you in the car is way too common. It's a sign of being extremely lazy if school van drivers honk horn in front of the home for students to come outside. What is so hard about turning off the car, stepping out the car, walking to the door, and knocking or ringing the doorbell?”
“Honking in the street is a constant source of frustration. Instead of lightly tapping horn, some simply lean on it for many seconds. I think even the light tap on the horn, when multiplied by 50 times a day, becomes incredibly annoying. It's not neighborly, it's thoughtless,” adds Hamid.
