Question 927 in the bank

When is it allowed to use the horn?

  1. Correct answer: Only to prevent imminent danger that cannot be prevented in any other way.
  2. Only in an urban road, to prevent danger.
  3. In every type of road, only for public vehicles, to prevent danger.
  4. Only in a non-urban road, to prevent danger.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Only to prevent imminent danger that cannot be prevented in any other way.

The horn is only a warning device, so it may be used only to prevent imminent danger that cannot be avoided any other way, such as by slowing, braking or steering away. This applies to all vehicles on every type of road, urban or non-urban. Honking to hurry others, greet someone or show anger is not allowed, because it creates noise and confuses other road users.
