Traffic in Kolkata

The road is never quiet...HONK! HONK!
The are quite a variety of transportation in the road : rickshaw, auto-rickshaw, bus, taxi, cars and trams. In the morning, the road is flooded by all kinds of this wheels. Then people tend to honk, the frequency is just so high until we Malaysians could hardly imagine.

Honking, to notify the passers-by, get a way out for the car. Often, honking is like shouting: I am coming, give me a way! Is it a way in showing the status? As owning a car is something which can be shouted around?

Anyway, honking, perhaps, is a way to prevent road accident over here. lol.
