Indian drivers honk incessantly. It’s widely believed that driving there without honking frequently is unsafe, because concepts like lanes and signaling are… loosely followed, to put it mildly. Honking in North America or Europe either means an emergency or someone is pissed off. Honking in India means hello I am here.

I wish honking in NA or EU was an emergency thing haha

Now that I live in Japan I really feel the difference every time I go back

Vietnam is this way too. Guessing a bunch of countries are like this.
Philippines as well.
China
