While riding your motorcycle, you notice an acquaintance walking on the pavement. Are you allowed to use the horn to greet them?

Correct answer

No

No. Greeting an acquaintance is not a permitted reason to sound the horn, either inside or outside built-up areas. Article 110 prohibits unjustified or excessive horn use; permitted purposes include avoiding a possible accident or warning of an overtake outside built-up areas. The reason here is improper horn use, rather than a general prohibition on removing a hand from the handlebars or giving lawful arm signals.
