Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When I want to pass another vehicle outside a built-up area.
In a vehicle that is not an emergency vehicle, you may use the horn only in exceptional cases: to prevent a possible accident, to let others know you are responding to an emergency and, outside a built-up area, to warn the driver ahead that you are going to pass them. In the image, you are on a road between olive trees behind a van, so you may honk before passing. In a built-up area, honking to announce that you are going to pass is not allowed.
