Let’s face it Turks are loud people. They love to talk loud, eat loud and live loud. Strangers might even be deceived when an heated conversation conversation can be misconstrued as an argument to someone non Turkish.
Every time Turks are known to honk their car horns on a regular basis, and they use it with pride. Nothing says “Nerdesin beh arkardaş?” than a couple of toots on the horn. Of course by hitting the horn you are calling the whole köy so make sure the horn is followed by shouting their name.
Every single person in a particular area always wants to hear you pressing your horn, even new-born babies look forward to the sound of a horn. A classic for any Turk is to use their horn when they want to swear at another driver.
If you are ever getting beeped at by a Turkish driver, look at their lips and you will realise their lips are actually moving in sync with the horn!
Here are some scenarios where Turks may swear at you using their horn:
Because you didn’t give them way, while you are on a roundabout
Because you waited for the light to go green before moving.
Because you have stopped to give someone way.
Nothing says ‘I have no patience and no idea how to drive’ than a Turk that over uses a car horn.
A famous method of attracting the opposite s$x. Nothing says romance than a slam on the car horn, usually followed by those romantic words shouted from the car “Aigggght napan canim?”
What kind of a woman doesn’t want to be romanced by a man pressing his car horn continuously to show his feelings towards a woman? Usually this is more affective when the Turkish man compliments the horn with cat noises “miaowww”.
