BDifficulty 3/5

Outside a built-up area, to warn another driver of the intention to overtake, in addition to signalling any lateral movement when required, which warning methods are permitted?

Correct answer

Both a non-strident audible warning and a light warning without glare are permitted alternatives.

You may use a non-strident audible warning or brief flashes of dipped or main beam, avoiding glare, under articles 109.3 and 110.2.b. Both are not required simultaneously. The direction indicator signals lateral movement and is not replaced by the horn or headlight flashes. Light warnings are also permitted in built-up areas.
