Question 4174

- Yes, as long as it is sounded at short intervals and the sound is not shrill.
- Yes, unless you are near a hospital.
- No.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. Honking to announce that you are going to pass is allowed only outside built-up areas. In the city, you may use the horn only to prevent a possible accident or to let others know you are responding to an emergency in a vehicle that is not an emergency vehicle. Neither a short, non-shrill sound nor your distance from a hospital changes that rule.
