Hooting
Can anyone tell me why when stuck in a traffic jam, people feel the need to hoot continuously at the cars infront of them?
This morning at 7.30 traffic was chaos in Mansoura on the way through Muntazah to Jaidah flyover, and numerous drivers had the annoying habit of sitting on their hooters while all of us where in the same situation of waiting for the traffic to move...
I mean come on... if I am stuck behind a string of cars, with cars filtering in from both sides, where exactly do you expect me to move to?
canarybird......So that was you huh?
I was the guy behind you hooting away. I was bored and wanted to be sure u did not sleep while you are on the wheels. Its a free social service......:P
When I lived in Iran there were always long queues in traffice jams and as soon as the trafic light turned green the 20th car behind started hooping.
When I got completely upset with it I put on the emergencly lights and opened the bonnet, it is surprising just how many stopped to look in the engine with me although there was nothing wrong with it - then they had a real reason to hoop.
Guy and Gals lets not hijack this thread from its original topic.
Xena....sorry for starting the trouble here.
Beeb, Beeb........:P
Friendly as well :) Hooters at Cleark's Quey. Irish pub at boat Quey. Good old days

No Hooters Club Here :(
It gets me really angry. I suddenly slow down causing him to brake violently. If he hits me from behind that's his problem :)
Hooting here is very much milder here compared to some parts of the world.
Errrr...wat was i saying? $!?&!!.....too much hooting going around! I need a drink at Hooters to calm down. :P
Don't you realise, that if you're stuck in traffic, you are supposed to honk your horn for as long as possible. This signals to the Traffic Gods that all is not well, and they shall part a course for ye.
Or something like that.
...as silly as a bum full of Smarties.

I actually though of that..... putting my car into reverse I mean....
"if you don't like the heat... get out of the kitchen... but stop trying to fan the flames before you leave... it will burn you on the a** as you go through the doorway...." ME

Just engage your reverse gear and check his/her reaction, or start hooting as well
its a very annoying practice here..like xena said what do you do? You ares stuck like everyone else...jauntie i think you mustve just gotten used to it here, as a newcomber to doha i hear them all the time and it makes me nervous....
is the time between the lights changing and the idiot behind blowing his horn
over the years in these 'ere parts.
It really isn't as bad as it used to be, honest! Even in Doha it seems less now (probably because of the fines threatened if you use the horn unnecessarily).
What I DO recall is when I got home from Jeddah and was sitting at traffic lights in the UK. The lights changed to green, I put my car in gear to move off and the bloke (probably was a man) behind me leant on the horn .... I almost got out of my car and punched him!
I didn't realise just how much in denial I was, having lived with horns honking right left and centre around me in Jeddah, without being able to react, until that moment.
Well, there were other moments, but that was just one.
accordance with the traffic rules they are testing their horns.........but constantly.
So what were we suppose to do?
lol, Saddavi....

I guess they might be 'long'-honking to the first person in the row who is responsible for this jam :)
Hey Xena :)
It's quite annoying, but I don't think it's that frequent humdullilah.

If u have got 4x4 thn this hooting means tht they xpect u to get out of ths chaos and cilmb up the footpath all the way to ur home lol
When people behind me start hooting, I look back and show them the "flying sign" with my hands ! Try and fly if you can, I sure can't, bcoz I am not flying an airplane, just driving a car !
It is very, very irritating, but unavoidable in Doha. Add it to the list !!!
