Road Safety - Chennai Traffic Police awareness on Honking

Author

Reckless #honking even at signals is common on our roads. Honking doesn’t make your vehicle move faster; it frustrates the other road users. Kudos to the #GCTP for reminding drivers to maintain a safe & stress-free road environment for all.
