Question 5151
Are you allowed to flash your headlights to signal your intention to pass outside built-up areas?
- Yes, exceptionally, just like audible signals.
- No, under no circumstances.
- No, you may only signal if the passing takes place in a built-up area.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, exceptionally, just like audible signals.
Yes. Outside built-up areas, you may warn the driver ahead that you are going to pass by sounding your horn or, instead, giving brief flashes of your headlights without blinding them. Like the horn, this is an exceptional warning to use when needed, and it does not replace your turn signal.
