I was waiting for a bus along the road just before the Han River bridge last year. I saw a family car start to cut off a taxi in the middle lane (attempting to make it onto the overpass).
The taxi touched off the loudest car horn I've ever heard. Actually, it wasn't a car horn at all. It was a full-fledged train horn, running on a very large can of compressed air. It was, perhaps, the funniest Korean road-thing I've ever witnessed. Three lanes of cars in front of that taxi frantically parted in anticipation of being hit. There were about 10 of us waiting at the bus stop, and EVERYONE stopped what they were doing and snapped heads in anticipation of a big wreck.
I think the guy in the family car soiled his shorts. |

I don't mean to be cruel but by god I hope that was intentional.  |
