Question 7119
In a built-up area, is it allowed to use audible warning signals?
- No.
- Yes, exclusively to avoid an accident.
- Yes, to avoid an accident or to warn other road users that you are making an emergency trip.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, to avoid an accident or to warn other road users that you are making an emergency trip.
Yes, in two situations: to avoid a possible accident and to signal that you are making an emergency trip in a vehicle that is not an emergency vehicle (vehículo prioritario), for example when taking a seriously ill person to the hospital. In that case, sound the horn intermittently and turn on the hazard lights. In a built-up area, you must not honk to announce that you intend to pass.
