BDifficulty 2/5

If using the horn to warn a cyclist is justified under the rules, how should you do so to avoid startling them?

Correct answer

At a certain distance from the cyclist, to avoid startling them.

From a sufficient distance, with a brief, non-shrill warning and without excessive use. Article 110 limits audible warnings to permitted situations, such as avoiding a possible accident or announcing an intended overtake outside a built-up area. Do not use it to demand that the cyclist move aside. When overtaking, comply with legal clearance and other conditions: the applicable 1.5 m minimum is not merely an ideal recommendation.
