AMDifficulty 3/5

In a built-up area, with no crash danger or urgent service, may you use a moped horn solely to announce an overtake?

Correct answer

No.

No. Article 110 allows a horn warning of an intended overtake outside built-up areas. Inside them, that purpose alone does not permit it. It may be used to avoid a possible crash or in the exceptional Article 70 case; urban horn use is not absolutely prohibited. A non-shrill sound does not authorise use without a permitted reason.
