Is it permitted to sound the moped's horn to greet an acquaintance while riding?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations strictly prohibit the unjustified use of sound signals (horn). They may only be used to avoid a possible accident (both in and outside built-up areas), to warn of the intention to overtake another vehicle outside built-up areas, or when traveling on an emergency call in a non-priority vehicle. Using the horn to greet pedestrians or friends creates unnecessary noise pollution, can startle or disorient other road users and is an offense under the regulations.
