Blowing pressure horns may soon leave a hole in your pocket.
Delhi authorities have decided to up the punishment from the current Rs 100 fine and a 72 hour notice (to remove the horn) to a hefty Rs 2000.

This is extensively being planned for the Delhi region.
Reason - elderly people, infants and students are severely affected.

Source - Pressure on horns: Fine hiked to Rs 2,000

wow, great move, by the authorities... the sound really startles many ppl, and is a big nuisance. But many wouldn't resort to pressure horns or roots horns if the stock horn in vehicles were a little louder, they actually sound pretty meek.

its not only the meek sound of the stock horns but the senseless showoff tendency many people have. They think blowing the pressure horn will give them respect, like "see, my puny bike gives more sound than a bullet and people are frightened by the sound". For most of the bikes I saw with this horn, all were wannabe Rossi thinking their 100cc is a hayabusa. A great move, atleast those wannabes' learn a lesson.

Why can't the sales be banned instead of another money making gimmick...?

I am not in support of pressure horns... But then if the pedestrians didn't treat the roads like a park and the traffic culture was more matured then no one would need such horns in the first place... How about toughening the driving license test like those in Dubai or the States accompanied with suspended licenses on traffic rule transgressions...? So that the people who eventually end up driving/riding are people who have some traffic sense or are forced to mature...

Again we are just attacking the symptoms and not addressing or curing the root cause...

Very good point sir! 100/100, but for that wish to come true, we have to assume that our law makers actually want to make our country better, instead of pocketing some easy cash!
