Karnataka: Drivers made to hear their own honking as punishment

Some have applauded the police’s action but think that a broader crackdown is required.

A video has gone viral showing Karnataka Traffic Police punishing unruly drivers by making them hear their own noisy horns.

The traffic police are stopping vehicles with loud horns and instructing drivers to listen to their own honking to make them experience the disturbance they create on the streets.

The move has sparked a debate on social media. While some seem to be in favour of it, others believe that more needs to be done and that merely ticketing drivers may not solve the problem.

Some have applauded the police’s action but think that a broader crackdown is required to eradicate the menace of unnecessary honking.
