In addition to honking their is safety involved here. 

1. In addition the authorities have to ensure that the side mirrors of these vehicles are in working conditions. If the side mirrors are not in working conditions; they do not know who is in parallel lanes. And when they change the lane they are hazard to other vehicles.
2. Also their tail lamps and brake lamps have to be checked. Driving behind such vehicles in dangerous when brake and tail lamps are not working especially in the evening. Worst when such vehicles are parked without working tail lamps. Hence driving in the evening becomes hazardous more so on Mumbai Pune Expressway.

I tested the app on Android phone. It is easy to use. 

It read QR codes, business cards, printed logos, logos on metallic surfaces, 3D logos on wall, bar codes  very well.

I have a large number of business cards to scan and I found this to be a good tool. The cards can imported in to Microsoft Outlook. It also allows you to import cards in to Google contacts.

I found it to be a useful tool.

The app is worth giving it a try.
