It has been observed that most of the trucks and buses plying Dhaka streets, highways and other towns of Bangladesh use hydraulic horns constantly. The loud noises of these horns cause great disturbance to the people exposed to those. The drivers of these vehicles do not care about the people and constantly blow their horns while driving the vehicles. Unfortunately, our law enforcing agencies do not take any action against the drivers who use hydraulic horns. We, therefore, suggest that the traffic department should check all heavy vehicles including trucks and buses to stop the use of hydraulic horns for public interest.
