Honking advert a distraction to drivers


MOST motorists would have heard the radio advertisement urging customers to pay their sewerage bill. The advertisement is preceded by the sound of a car horn, which I find quite perplexing. Obviously, the honking sound is meant to draw the attention of listeners but I feel it is quite inappropriate when it is heard from the car radio.

This could easily be dismissed as an advertising gimmick but some drivers might find it difficult at certain times to tell whether the sound is actually from another car near them or just a noise from the radio.
