Question 5112

While driving on an urban road, how will you indicate your presence to another vehicle that intends to enter traffic?

  1. By intermittently using the low-beam or high-beam headlights without dazzling.
  2. By using the high beams and the horn at the same time.
  3. By using the horn so that it does not pull out.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: By intermittently using the low-beam or high-beam headlights without dazzling.

If a car is about to pull out without seeing you, you may flash your headlights to alert the driver, even in a built-up area. Switch your low beams or high beams on and off, or alternate between them, very quickly and without blinding anyone. The horn is for preventing an accident, not for stopping the other driver from pulling out, and you must not use it at the same time as flashing your headlights. In the image, the silver passenger car is starting to pull out of its space on the right.
