When we go out on the road, we see different types of vehicles. There is definitely some sticker or something written on every vehicle. While cars have slogans related to children’s names or God, poetry is written on the back of trucks. One thing you might have noticed though, is that ‘Horn OK Please’ is written in big letters on the back of most trucks.
There are many things in our life which we see every day but do not know the reason for them. When suddenly someone asks us a question related to these, we start thinking. Similarly, we have seen this slogan many times but we do not know its meaning. Let us tell you today what is the meaning of this common line written on the back of trucks.
This is the reason for the slogan…
There is an important reason why OK Please is written on the horn on the back of the truck. The vehicle behind the truck blows its horn before moving forward. When the truck driver feels that he can overtake and there is no other vehicle coming from the front, then only he gives OK and gives the indicator. Only after this the vehicle behind can move forward easily. In this way the message of horn OK please prevents accidents from happening. Earlier, the roads were narrow, in such a situation, when the road was clear, the truck driver would light a bulb placed above the OK, which would give a signal to the person behind to overtake.
Interesting facts related to OK
Not only this, OK is also seen to be linked to the Second World War. In fact, there was a severe shortage of diesel at this time, so containers filled with kerosene were kept in trucks. Since kerosene is highly flammable, it should not catch fire in case of any accident, hence to maintain proper distance, ‘On Kerosene’ was written, which later came to be written as Ok. However, due to wide roads, writing of this slogan has also reduced.
