The (Car) Horn of Africa

Friday, 13 December 2024

 


In Africa, car horns have a whole different vibe. Forget London or Auckland, where honking basically translates to, “Get out of my way, you absolute muppet!” Here, a horn is less of a scolding and more of a social butterfly.


Honk! “Hello there!”

Honk! “How’s life treating you?”

Honk! “You’re looking fabulous today!”

Honk! “Your truck has excellent tire pressure!”


It’s like every car is auditioning for a role in The Sound of Music, but instead of singing, they’re chatting up everyone they pass.
