Outside built-up areas, how can you signal the driver of the vehicle ahead of your intention to overtake?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On interurban roads (outside built-up areas), General Traffic Regulations allow you to signal the overtaking maneuver using both optical signals (flashing low or high beam headlights) and acoustic signals (horn). Therefore, the correct option covers both possibilities ('With lights and sound'). It is crucial to distinguish this from driving within built-up areas, where using the horn to signal overtaking is prohibited, and only lights are permitted.
