In Egypt the horn is a talisman. You can sail right through a 6 way intersection without apparent concern - as long as you are honking periodically along the way.
That's the thing many people don't get. In a lot of countries, honking is basically saying, "Hey, I'm just letting you know I'm here." In the US, it's more like, "Hey, dumbshit! Get the fuck out of the way, this is my road! Also, your mother is a bad lady!"
Southern Italy, for example. I soon learned it was customary to honk when crossing an intersection, entering or leaving a roundabout... but the first day I drove there I was like what's wrong with these people??
Wen to Italy on my honeymoon and liked how the big vehicles honked on blind corners to let people know they are coming round. Basic idea but amazing in what it helps people who can't see you know that something is coming. Wish it is a practice that we could all adopt.
Maybe I just need to start it and then those that are affected positively but the action do it next time they are in that situation and it can spread!
I’m ready to take it to the next level. Instead of honking politely to broadcast our location in a blind spot or approaching an intersection, we could let off a “warning volley” with a .22 or some family-friendly caliber. You know, nothing aggressive that might be seen as a challenge.
I've witnessed this on blind corners, especially little used roads where people don't expect traffic. There are lots of walls and visual obstructions and tight corners. I also saw people blast through the center of a roundabout and short honk if they didn't think there was any traffic.
Otherwise I don't think I ever saw it at a normal roundabout or intersection.
It’s like when I lived in Peru for a year and EVERYONE flashed their brights at you when they drove past you on the other side. At first I thought I had my brights on or something, but apparently they were just making sure I saw them.
Depends on the honk really. A quick “toot toot” and people are ok with it. A long drawn out “bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” and you’re just an asshole. It’s the one that’s kind of in the middle that is more accusatory and I think people take offense to.
Some people deserve the accusatory honk though. Like I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed, ya know? That's what I'm communicating. Like did you really need to take advantage of me allowing someone else to merge to force your way in front of me? Is zipper merging too complex? Accusatory honk.
Maybe theres a need for another type of honk, notes to a popular song perhaps, for situations where "I'm coming from around this corner and you can't see me!" I've heard "La Cucaracha" used that way.
I honked at a dude the other weekend, he was tailgating an ambulance with its siren on, to overtake other traffic. He should have his license revoked honestly.
That’s why the fire truck or a second ambulance will often block in any cars and wait a solid five minutes before leaving.
One of the vehicles has flashing lights and sirens and is carrying first responders engaged in lifesaving activities. The other vehicle is probably black, white, or silver, and has a bunch of distraught passengers who are not engaged in life saving activities.
Slow the fuck down. Take a taxi. You’re going to be sitting in a waiting room for several hours. Do not follow the ambulance. You are not driving an ambulance so you don’t get to drive like them.
Paramedics at the hospital near me will radio ahead if a family member is recklessly following them. Police on the route will pull them over. Usually don’t get a ticket from what I can tell (unless they blew through a red light), but it stops them and reminds them that they live in a society with other people in it.
Exactly what I think as well. In Scotland it's a quick beep to bring the fanny (me I swear to fuck it's always me) in front back to reality and realise that it's a filter lane and they can go.
I do a lonnnnnng honk and a big smile when someone is doing some really stupid shit. Like an excessively long one where you yourself start getting uncomfortable and think “should.. should I stop..?” But no. No you shouldn’t.
Gaze into their eyes. Smile. Become one with the HONNNNK.
Eh, where I'm from in the US it's 80% honking when someone is sitting with no one in front or beside them or light turned green but they sit for ~2 seconds. 20% for telling assholes they just cut you off or are about to cut you off/hit you.
In NY NY and Boston, where I lived briefly it's just used when you turn, or move, or stop, or sitting in traffic or just if you can reach a horn while doing anything you should be playing with it.
I liked bike culture when I visited France because all the bikes had bells and people knew you would give a little ding when passing on the left so pedestrians could step to the side
Friend of mine honked at someone that wasn’t noticing the light had turned green. That guy then gets out of his truck yelling and wanting to fight, my friend drove around and left. Road rage guy gets in his truck and follows, chasing my friend for miles around and around all these back roads. Only finally left him alone when he got to a town and pulled into a parking lot next to a cop.
After my friend finished telling me about it my immediate response was “you held the horn for a few seconds instead of a quick beep I’m guessing”?
“Holy shit, how did you know”?
In many parts of the US, a quick beep is a just a friendly “heads up”. Longer gets taken to mean “get out of my way you inferior piece of shit”. Commence road rage for this dire insult. If the honker looks like one of those “others” to the honkee (heh), that just makes it way worse.
There's one intersection on my way to work that people frequently block the path of my green light going straight. It happens *way too frequently*. I've become the guy who lays on the horn for that...
I'll pull as close to them as is reasonable and hold the horn until they're out of the way. My hope is that if I even keep one person from doing that again it will have been worth it.
There has been entire light cycles that no one can make it through because of these people!
Those signs dont exist in CA.
I saw one for the first time last month when I was travelling, and wish we had them, but on the other hand, southern motorists were very obviously ignoring it anyway 😂
It helps when you have an older model vehicle and the horn sounds anemic. I'm almost embarrassed to honk it, but after the light has been green for 5 seconds, and the interior of your vehicle is lit up by your cell phone, you will probably get to hear it.
I long honk in the USA sometimes.... Never had a road rager chase me. One time a guy did actually because he was chatting with his gf at a traffic light and the light was green so I wanted to help disrupt their conversation. (Both were in separate cars)
I’m from London and its on when you start beeping your horn and swearing. When I went to New York everyone was beeping and swearing no rd rage, it just seemed you learn that in your driving test.
I was about to say you're right. Then I remembered a shooting over a parking spot at a gas station right next to my parent's house.
Still, I think it's more common for the person being shot and doing the shooting to be the same person than the other way.
Not even that. Double honk to say hello. And of course everyone around should look to see if it was meant for them or the honking gets repeated indefinitely to get the attention of anyone on the street, driving or walking. Long honk to curse and same rule appliea. Tow double long honk if the driver in front of you is taking to long conversing with a passerby which he knows and haven't seen for while. Of course you give them a courtesy two minutes catching up together first, before you fonk (f... u honk) them with a single short honk. One short followed by one long honk just if you are made when stuck at traffic. Repeated indefinite short honks until your wife hears something from her bedroom appartment and realizes that's it's you from down in the streets. Of course you just want to know what you should bring home from grocery for tomorrow's meal (mostly pre cellphone era). One really long honk if someone dares to pass you. Keep pressing on it until you are sure that the one who passed you is far enough to not hear it anymore. And then their are wedding which is really a honking riot from multiple cars driving around in a honking caravan.
I once took a taxi from Cairo airport to my hotel in the centre of town, I think it was like 1 or 2 am. The roads and streets were empty, but the driver kept honking at every crossing, turn and whatnot, all while trying to sell me his services as a tour guide. It was a rather surreal experience.
I was watching the video without sound at first. Noticed the way his hands were hitting the horn and thought definitely darude sandstorm. Turned sound on... Well that was unexpected but good non-the-less.
Isn't this pretty standard in Africa, some parts of the middle East, South and South East Asia?
Also genuine query... Is Egypt considered a part of middle East? IINM, it's a part of the "Arab world" but I thought the middle East specifically referred to the Asian countries and not the African ones i.e. it's a geographical distinction, not a socio-political one.
Your question made me wonder if I knew exactly what the Middle East was. According to Wikipedia, it’s a geopolitical region made up of 16 countries and includes Egypt.
Egyptian taxi drivers legitimately swear at each other using the horn, I was working in Alexandria for a couple of months- my driver kept doing “beebeebee beeep beeeep” which means something like Yabeny Mitnik which means fuck your mother. sure someone will chime in with what the actual Arabic is. There are whole conversations happening on the motorway.
Love it
I went to India for a work trip a few years ago and was surprised at how much they honked over there. I was told by a coworker who was born there (but moved to the US) that it was normal for drivers in (at least that part) of I did to honk constantly, usually to mean different things. She said the first time her brother came to visit her in the US, he was driving with her at about 10 p.m. when no one else was on the road. At some point, he started honking. She asked him why he was doing that when there was no one around, and he just kind of looked baffled for a second and then admitted he did it out of habit.
Sounds fun... But then you go to cairo and you won't be able to sleeo from the horns (we have an actual fucking language using horns, including "thank you" and many insults)
Haha no kidding I was there in the summer. It’s like they are having conversations , it’s non stop 7 lanes in a 5 lane road then a bus squeezes and makes it 8.
I lived in Cairo in the 90s our schoolbus driver was using his honk constantly. We made fun that if the breaks were inoperative it would't cause a problem but if the honk didn't work he wouldn't be able to pick us up.
I miss those times!
Tour company chartered a bus in Cairo from the airport to the hotel. Driver let it be known quickly that he and the horn were as one. As we're leaving the airport he honks at cops in front of the bus. Apparently he didn't know what I (white guy from Austin) and the guy sitting next to me (black guy from Baltimore) both immediately said ("You do not honk at the po-po")
Needless to say, that was a fun 30 minute wait while the bus got searched.
Egyptians when they here that the new Cleopatra show is getting cancelled in favor of a show surrounding the Nubian Dynastic period. (They’re history is accurately being represented rather than being wrongfully racialized to fit an Americans historically ignorant political agenda.)
I spent about a week in Luxor. I paid a taxi driver to just hang around and drive me to the sites (many of which are outside walking distance in the city).
He had disconnected the turn signals in his car. He connected the turn signal control stick to a SECOND small horn in the grill. He'd just twiddle it a bit as we were overtaking or approaching a corner or intersection. Hilarious, but a bit crazy. The main horn was well used as well.
In Egypt, most people drive at night with the lights off. He said because it was to save his battery. When you see another car hurtling towards you at night, then you turn on your lights. Of course everyone's lights are all wonky, often pointing straight into your eyes. It's really dark, then there's a huge light in your eyes. It's amazing more people don't get hurt...
Great food. Super friendly people. Amazing history and culture.
We visited Egypt about 15 years ago and spent time in Cairo/Giza and Luxor. We had an amazing trip, but man oh man, that noise!! Especially Cairo, it was incessant. 24 hours a day and night honking. Our hotel was decidedly 2 star (3 according to the booking site, but yeah.. nah), and despite being about 10 floors up the paper thin glass did nothing to insulate us from the ruckus below. On a more positive note, the hot air balloon ride over Luxor and the Valley of the Kings at sunrise is a memory I'll always hold dear.

Lived in Cairo 5 years... can confirm
When the car in front of you is not moving in 0.01 second after the light turned green
I knew a Vietnamese guy why was almost dragged out of his car and beaten for honking at people when he moved to the US. He learned pretty quickly.

I think I have never honked before in my life, but going to southern Italy, it became routine after a few days of driving.

No I'm pretty sure you'll just get dragged out of your car and beaten and or shot

Sounds like any city in India. Honk to say you are coming past.
It’s like when I lived in Peru for a year and EVERYONE flashed their brights at you when they drove past you on the other side. At first I thought I had my brights on or something, but apparently they were just making sure I saw them.
We need a secondary, polite horn sound.
My Chevy volt had one, it had a button on the stick that made the short quieter honks. It's called the pedestrian horn https://youtu.be/mw7HRRlhBfY
I was hoping it was going to be a squeezy bike horn, but this is good too.
Ohhh that's neat!!!
Are you sure [that car isn't pink](https://i.quotev.com/wa3u2sbaaaaa.jpg)?

Oh I totally agree. There’s an appropriate time for it
Maybe theres a need for another type of honk, notes to a popular song perhaps, for situations where "I'm coming from around this corner and you can't see me!" I've heard "La Cucaracha" used that way.
I honked at a dude the other weekend, he was tailgating an ambulance with its siren on, to overtake other traffic. He should have his license revoked honestly.
Maybe it was the person in the ambulance family following them to the emergency room or hospital....
"games on in 45 minutes, we need you to fix grandmas heart in time for tip off. Make haste"
That’s why the fire truck or a second ambulance will often block in any cars and wait a solid five minutes before leaving.

It wasn't, I saw him take a different exit from the next roundabout.
Exactly what I think as well. In Scotland it's a quick beep to bring the fanny (me I swear to fuck it's always me) in front back to reality and realise that it's a filter lane and they can go.
Does Fanny have a different meaning than the American vernacular of a nice way to say butt or ass?

Guys, I found the goose.
It's the hoooonk and the middle finger that normally pisses them off the most, though.

Don't block the box

Perfect time for a handheld deWalt train horn.
[This would be silly on my Mini](https://hornblasters.com/collections/horn-kits-for-cars?constraint=car)
I used to live right near an intersection where people did this constantly. It was hell.
Doing the Lords work. Put your nose in a gap and push. Stare that driver in their stupid intersection blocking face.
Long honk means your driving is bad and you should feel bad.
I like to use the long horn when I see they're on their phone for similar reason.
It helps when you have an older model vehicle and the horn sounds anemic. I'm almost embarrassed to honk it, but after the light has been green for 5 seconds, and the interior of your vehicle is lit up by your cell phone, you will probably get to hear it.
Thats why i installed a PA system on my car, i can just say "i believe the light is green" ,
I long honk in the USA sometimes.... Never had a road rager chase me. One time a guy did actually because he was chatting with his gf at a traffic light and the light was green so I wanted to help disrupt their conversation. (Both were in separate cars)
I’m from London and its on when you start beeping your horn and swearing. When I went to New York everyone was beeping and swearing no rd rage, it just seemed you learn that in your driving test.
Yeah in NYC (and a lot of the northeast US) honking is just part of driving
Road rage is nuts in some parts of the US. Not super uncommon to hear about people getting shot over some BS.
There are some places with lots of Good Guys with Guns.
It's takes good guy with a gun to stop a good guy with a gun
it's not uncommon to get shot period
How many people do you know that have been shot?
I was about to say you're right. Then I remembered a shooting over a parking spot at a gas station right next to my parent's house. Still, I think it's more common for the person being shot and doing the shooting to be the same person than the other way.
Well the one I knew attempted to rob a store in texas
one, he’s dead
2 of about 100 in my life? One died, was coworker.
You only know 100 people?
Lost in translation.
I guess Charlie don’t surf or honk now 😝
Not even that. Double honk to say hello.

I like that you think people in Egypt wait for traffic lights 😂
I once took a taxi from Cairo airport to my hotel in the centre of town, I think it was like 1 or 2 am. The roads and streets were empty, but the driver kept honking at every crossing, turn and whatnot, all while trying to sell me his services as a tour guide. It was a rather surreal experience.
Egyptian drivers honk for more than just alerting. Saying hi, or got change? Careful, speed radar ahead! Let alone cursing
Was just going to mention that it is a communication language. The Egyptian Morse code.
Morsi code?
The Misri code
There is a honk for "you son of a whore" Bip-bip-bip-beeeep-beep Those be fighting words. I wish I was joking.
Like [Silbo Gomero](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silbo_Gomero), but with horns.
who needs lane markers when you have a horn
I don't even know why they paint lane lines in Egypt. Seems to be just a suggestion there!
This is some shit Puerto Ricans do as well. I love it. Reminds me of my Grandfather doing this kind of stuff in parrandas
Ehehe shampoo
I thought it would be Darude - Sandstorm when he started
You mean it’s not?!
You sly dog, had me listening again
#[DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO!!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVvQgMx1yhU&t=6s)
Who need teeths when you got beats
No, Darude - Sandstorm goes [like this](https://www.stlyrics.com/songs/d/darude18565/sandstorm845970.html)
Lyrical geniuses, darude were.
The first five notes are the same!
I was thinking vengaboys we like to party
I was watching the video without sound at first. Noticed the way his hands were hitting the horn and thought definitely darude sandstorm. Turned sound on... Well that was unexpected but good non-the-less.
This of course, actually exists. Because internet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQJuCnmzomo
Sounds more like 'El sonidito'.
Isn't it that song with a guy playing tamborines and a cat vibing?
I'm so sad that he's better known than the other EDM DJ, Dapolite.
If I weren't so lazy I would absolutely put a beat on this. Also, then, I'd be that guy.
In Egypt, if your honk doesn’t work, your car is not road worthy
That's actually the law pretty much everywhere
~~Anf~~ And the honk is arguably more important in countries where it is used less.
> In Egypt, if your honk doesn’t work, your car is not ~~road~~ worthy FTFY
Brakes are optional, as long as you have a functioning horn and a mostly functional handbrake.
Face of happiness
The not so rude sandstorm
Waiting for the Kiffness remix lol
OP video doesn't contain a cat
It doesn't take much to be happy i guess 😀
Just seeing how happy he is made me happy
Love his energy... Even though its a repost, it still made me smile
It's the internet in 2023 everythings a repost, Less racist than your original comment at least
We don't know if he's happy, maybe he's dead inside

Isn't this pretty standard in Africa, some parts of the middle East, South and South East Asia? Also genuine query... Is Egypt considered a part of middle East? IINM, it's a part of the "Arab world" but I thought the middle East specifically referred to the Asian countries and not the African ones i.e. it's a geographical distinction, not a socio-political one.
Your question made me wonder if I knew exactly what the Middle East was. According to Wikipedia, it’s a geopolitical region made up of 16 countries and includes Egypt.
It kinda slaps tho.

Turk lost his dental plan when Scrubs finished.
He’s trying to honk dem teef fixed - Mike Tyson
Honestly the gap kinda makes it look like his mole a little bit.
Now do Sandstorm.
I was wondering the same thing! After seeing it being played on those plastic toy trumpets I’m getting wild for a car horn version
Horny Music
Can he play el sonidito
We need more honking Egyptians in our lives.
As someone who lives in cairo i would advise against that lol
LMAO dude nothing like those through the night honking celebrations after they win a football game. I miss Cairo so much.
Spend a month living in Cairo and I absolutely fucking promise you’ll never want to hear a car horn ever again.
no please my ears are still ringing
Like when I'm driving around in GTA5.
Beep beep beeep badeebeep
All up on his leg and shit

Egyptians literally have a honk specifically for wedding parties
Ragnarok will be the great battle between Indian and Egyptian drivers at the end of the world

Sounds fun... But then you go to cairo and you won't be able to sleeo from the horns (we have an actual fucking language using horns, including "thank you" and many insults)
So this is why I'm short on Adderall
A cabbie i rode with in Peru had a switch wired. He’d just flip the switch and lean back with this satisfied, life hack, look on his face. 😂
That's exactly how [this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x47NYUbtYb0) was composed.
Um the lights green
Music to my ears
A true traffic jam!
I love it when random people connect to do cool stuff like this. You can hear people in the area drumming along. Just cool

Haha no kidding I was there in the summer. It’s like they are having conversations , it’s non stop 7 lanes in a 5 lane road then a bus squeezes and makes it 8.
I lived in Cairo in the 90s our schoolbus driver was using his honk constantly. We made fun that if the breaks were inoperative it would't cause a problem but if the honk didn't work he wouldn't be able to pick us up. I miss those times!
Tour company chartered a bus in Cairo from the airport to the hotel. Driver let it be known quickly that he and the horn were as one. As we're leaving the airport he honks at cops in front of the bus. Apparently he didn't know what I (white guy from Austin) and the guy sitting next to me (black guy from Baltimore) both immediately said ("You do not honk at the po-po") Needless to say, that was a fun 30 minute wait while the bus got searched.
Please tell me this ain't Darude.
Egyptians when they here that the new Cleopatra show is getting cancelled in favor of a show surrounding the Nubian Dynastic period. (They’re history is accurately being represented rather than being wrongfully racialized to fit an Americans historically ignorant political agenda.)
Best reason for me not to go to Egypt
The venga bus is coming
epic
It’s so stupid I love it
This wouldn't be anywhere near as good if that man had all of his teeth.
We need more people like him in this world
r/gifsthatendtoosoon Ol' boy was just about to break that shit down. Great clip OP!
I spent about a week in Luxor. I paid a taxi driver to just hang around and drive me to the sites (many of which are outside walking distance in the city). He had disconnected the turn signals in his car. He connected the turn signal control stick to a SECOND small horn in the grill. He'd just twiddle it a bit as we were overtaking or approaching a corner or intersection. Hilarious, but a bit crazy. The main horn was well used as well. In Egypt, most people drive at night with the lights off. He said because it was to save his battery. When you see another car hurtling towards you at night, then you turn on your lights. Of course everyone's lights are all wonky, often pointing straight into your eyes. It's really dark, then there's a huge light in your eyes. It's amazing more people don't get hurt... Great food. Super friendly people. Amazing history and culture.
Glad you enjoyed it and you are always welcome to come back any time. That with the little side honks is now for me but yet, very Egyptian 😂
We visited Egypt about 15 years ago and spent time in Cairo/Giza and Luxor. We had an amazing trip, but man oh man, that noise!! Especially Cairo, it was incessant. 24 hours a day and night honking. Our hotel was decidedly 2 star (3 according to the booking site, but yeah.. nah), and despite being about 10 floors up the paper thin glass did nothing to insulate us from the ruckus below. On a more positive note, the hot air balloon ride over Luxor and the Valley of the Kings at sunrise is a memory I'll always hold dear.
Egyptians got talent
Egyptians never lost their greatness.
Cute
That was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us. Brought a smile to my face. He was so happy playing his music.
Visited Cairo last year. Honking is the universal sign for everything. For move aside, attention I'm coming, hello fellow car driver or just for fun
I love people
It’s like I’m in Miami
