Correct answer
No, that is unjustified or excessive use.
No. Article 110 prohibits unjustified or excessive use. It allows justified warnings such as avoiding a possible collision, signalling an intention to overtake outside a built-up area, or warning of presence in article 70 situations. Use a non-strident sound. Congestion does not turn the horn into a way to demand movement or remove the legal exceptions.
