Question 5125
Is it allowed to use the horn to signal your intention to pass another vehicle?
- Yes, as long as the sound is not shrill, on any road.
- No.
- Yes, but only outside a built-up area.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, but only outside a built-up area.
Yes, but only outside built-up areas. There, you may sound a non-shrill horn to warn the driver ahead that you are going to pass them. In a built-up area, you must not honk for that purpose, even if the sound is not shrill. In the image, the green passenger car is preparing to pass on a road outside a built-up area.
