OK on the back of every truck in India.

One thing you will find common in trucks all over India is that the HORN OK PLEASE be written on the back of every truck.

This practice started before independence when only kerosene in the form of fuel was present in India. And only kerosene was used for both domestic and commercial work. As Kerosene is highly flammable, trucks used to catch fire often at this time. Therefore, trucks or other vehicles, both for their domestic and commercial work used to keep a proper distance from each other.

This is the reason that they wrote OK on the back of every truck, which meant, On Kerosene. And, Horn Please is also written because any vehicle that overtakes the truck should remember to play the horn before.
