Different honks symbolize different messages. And, there are rules to honking here, too. It's a very constructive method of communication amongst cars. Don't laugh. I don't drive (for fear I might run someone down), but I walk a lot, and ride a lot. So, I get run off the road by a couple of toots, telling me, "coming through" or maybe "beware" or like a cyclist "on your left". There is an art to this, and it shouldn't be dismissed as comical, since many people worldwide use this as a method of driving communication. Everyone here in Egypt honks.
