Question 171 in the bank

When is it permitted to use the horn for giving a warning signal in an urban road?

  1. It is only allowed to use an air horn.
  2. It is always allowed to use the horn, provided that the signal is given in a continuous and uniform manner.
  3. Correct answer: It is only allowed to use the horn in order to avoid imminent danger that cannot be prevented in any other way.
  4. It is always allowed to use the horn in an urban road.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: It is only allowed to use the horn in order to avoid imminent danger that cannot be prevented in any other way.

On an urban road, using the horn is permitted only to avoid imminent danger that cannot be prevented in any other way. Do not honk to express anger, to hurry another driver or to greet someone, because honking creates noise and may startle pedestrians and drivers. A continuous and uniform honk also does not make unnecessary use permitted.
