Car horn is not a means of communication
The Ministry of Interior has warned motorists against honking unnecessarily in front of neighbourhood stores and in traffic snarls as a means of communication or to express their anger at other motorists.
Don’t use your horn to express your frustration at another motorist.
Horn is not a way to say “hello” as you drive past your friends.
Honking your horn cannot magically clear a traffic jam.
Horn is not meant for getting the attention of a grocer to complete your grocery shopping while you are in the car.
Horns are not meant for normal communication. Honking the horns shall be restricted only in extremely necessary condition.
Honk your horn to avoid imminent traffic accidents as a result of sudden braking or turning vehicle or obstructing traffic flow hat violate traffic rules.
It can be used to alert pedestrians crossing the road endangering his safety as well as the motorists. Sometimes horns may be necessary outside the city to avoid collision with animals crossing or standing in the road.
Let’s follow proper etiquette of honking horns together.
Traffic Law No. 19/2007 has set in place rules regarding use of horns and it specially prohibit honking nearby hospital, schools and other places of public importance.
loooooolz khalli!
Some people are born to do the above where they dont have the ability to understand or accept their mistakes :(
if there would be traffic police deployed around the country during all times, this issue could be solved. There are some people who simply break the law. No one is able to comment as it is useless. People simply shift lanes like cows do as they don't care. everyone has the right to be respected & in return to respect.
normally i never honk my horn but somtimes ppl stop in the middle of the road suddenly nd make a person get down frm d vehicle or buy somtin which we hav to waste our time stoppin behind them nd making more traffic... specially women i hav noticed alot... Qatar s country we do respect women alot nd given freedom... please dnt misuse it... i hav also seen number of men stoppin in the middle of the road just bcuz to make his lady get down frm the car witout an indicator... here the police is trying to solve the problem but i think they r lack of staff... we cannot use fone while driving to take pictures just to inform traffic violations done by other motorist... i hope the MOI will com to gud solution..
wow..another after another rules along the road..what about those using cellphones while driving??? i have seen many and everyday and seems like no one cares from authorities.? it's dangerous! recently one lady driver kiss my car behind at traffic jam because she's too busy of her cellphone! what a shame.
all should obey the traffic rules and regulations if you want to be a good human being living in a civilized society
