Re: Car horns to sound like musical instruments (Tabla, Flute etc): Nitin Gadkari

Well then the govt should also ensure the ministers (PM included ) drive with normal traffic, once done then new ruling will come out - horn should be 780 db or more for all vehicles. Even the low lives such as a paltry Councilor goes with a convoy.

This is the reason why we need to have competently educated governance amidst us else such farces will become a regular feature

So, the news was true after all and the minister was not at all joking !! Seems like the law is underway and one could only pray that good sense prevails before we become the laughing stock !!

Re: Car horns to sound like musical instruments (Tabla, Flute etc): Nitin Gadkari

Dear mandarins of MORTH,

As a humble, helpless, horrified, hunted and haunted user of your partially owned (PPP) properties, a.k.a roads, I would like to submit to you the following:

Kindly arrange to deliver horns that could play need based tunes.

For instance, in dry, parched and dusty areas, all horns must be mandated to play Rag Megh Malhar.

Automatic headlights could be wired up with horns so that we can have Raag Deepak being played after dusk and before dawn. Oh yes, please ask your men to disconnect electricity supply to street lamps. We have enough vehicles and more than enough traffic to carry us through dark phases of the day.

OEMs should be made to introduce options for choosing a basket of music that could be used by the driver/owner to let the world know of their intentions inside the car or on the bikes.

Mushy couples could go for music abundant in Shrungara rasa while an angry young man must have the chance to go for Rudra, Veera and Bhayanaka packages. (Perhaps the head honchos at M&M, with their experience in introducing XUV 700 can be consulted here.)

And yes, please allow us to have aftermarket fitments that would throw a volley of curses in all official Indian languages. Based on the situation, we will have the option to shower the choicest of abuses (on whoever impedes our movement on the road) in a language that will be the most unlikely one to be understood. Will help us vent our frustration without hurting others' sentiments.

On matters automobile and musical, dear Thad can be consulted.

Gadkari sahab can propose a million things, but the Ministry mandarins won't let it move forward. Expect a PIL in this regard; which will definitely put the implementation of this laughable policy on the backburner.
