The government of Maharashtra banned the lorries that have HornOKPlease written on their back. The government seems to believe that ‘Horn Ok, Please,” is an exhortation to honk.
“It encourages people to honk every time you pass a truck or tempo. It sends an extremely wrong message to the people,” the circular stated.
“We want to change the driving culture. “Horn OK Please” instigates drivers to honk unnecessarily. Liquor ads are banned so are cigarette ads, this has been done on the same lines. I am hopeful that people will comply,” said State Transport Commissioner Mahesh Zagade
How ever, twitter burst out with jokes as soon as the government announced the decision.
