Correct answer
Yes, but only exceptionally.
Only exceptionally in permitted cases. For example, outside built-up areas they may warn of an intention to overtake under Article 110. Manoeuvres involving lateral movement must be signalled optically, normally with the direction indicator or, where unavailable, an arm signal under Article 109. The horn cannot freely replace the indicator or warn of any manoeuvre merely because it can be heard.
