It is a good initiative taken by Mumbai. Once again Mumbai has proven that they are the pioneers in any good things to be taken up in the country. Keep it up, I and my fellow citizens who wish that we have a noise free traffic request other cities to follow this and create awareness of noise pollution. Some points for avoiding honking.
1. First thing to be taught by any driving school or by any individual to the new learner is that the horn is to be used as a last resort only. 2. During the driving test conducted by the authorities for giving licence, if any person who is undertaking the test uses the horn to be failed, this will then create a habit to not honk unnecessarily. 3. Children from the school are to be educated that honking is bad, Children are the best people to bring changes in the parents. 4. City bus drivers are to be penalised as the bus drivers top the list of honking. 5. Offenders of honking are to be put in a enclosed chamber for 10 to 15 minutes with lot of horns blowing around them to get them irritated so that next time they avoid using horns unnecessarily
