BDifficulty 3/5

Within a built-up area, may a passenger car in ordinary traffic use its horn solely to announce an intention to overtake?

Correct answer

No, it is not allowed within a built-up area solely to announce overtaking.

No. Article 110 permits acoustic warning of an intention to overtake outside built-up areas. Within a built-up area it is not authorised solely for that purpose. Avoiding a possible accident and warning of presence in the exceptional Article 70 case are different circumstances. Failed lights do not permit unrestricted horn use.
