C1Difficulty 3/5

In an ordinary non-priority lorry, may the required horn be replaced by one that plays a melody of intermittent notes?

Correct answer

No.

No. Article 11.7 requires the prescribed horn to emit a continuous, uniform sound of sufficient intensity. A melody of intermittent notes does not meet that requirement. This concerns an ordinary lorry’s horn, not specific warnings regulated for other purposes or authorised priority-vehicle signals. Horn use must also comply with traffic rules.
