Introduction by TootingThe online Oxford Dictionaries describe a horn as a terse, shrill clicking sound that emanates from a car horn. The fact that it is short and sharp shows that it is the kind of noise that would be produced suddenly, especially in response to shock or in an emergency. On the contrary, many drivers are accustomed to blowing the whistle at the first opportunity, an act that has watered down the original purpose for which the whistle is required. Tooting is harmful and creates pollution and should be discouraged except in a crisis. also while driving or simply standing. These sudden movements consequently force the other parties to momentarily lose their concentration on what they were doing. In this case, many drivers are bound to cause accidents, while bystanders who lose their guard in the process may also end up unknowingly on the road, with catastrophic results. Similar to texting while driving, driving reduces a driver's control of their car. their attention is divided between the steering wheel and the horn. This further increases the degrading nature of drivers and often leads to altercations or accidents, especially at traffic lights. It is for this threat that many governments around the world enact anti-hooting laws with heavy penalties to deter booing unless the situation truly warrants it, in which case it is a matter of life and death . Moral responsibility Furthermore, booing is not morally acceptable in many neighborhoods, especially residential areas, and therefore all the more...... middle of paper ...... where horns were developed and so in the case where the horn is used for unnecessary purposes, such as recognizing other road users, it ceases to be useful and becomes a threat that many people around the world have had to endure for too long. There is a need for stricter legislation that will reduce at-fault drivers to help reduce the noise problem while helping to improve concentration on the roads and ultimately everyone's well-being. It is in this context that I support the fact that drivers should not be allowed to honk their horns except in an emergency. “The Next Corporation” Economist.com. November 1, 2001. The web.
