Can full-beam headlights be used to warn of an overtaking manoeuvre in a built-up area?

Correct answer

Yes, but at short intervals.

Full-beam headlights may be used as flashes or short bursts to avoid a possible accident, or to warn on roads both outside and inside built-up areas of the intention to overtake another vehicle. When travelling on roads outside built-up areas, the horn may be sounded to warn of the overtaking manoeuvre.
