Is it permitted to use the vehicle's acoustic signals to avoid a potential accident?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is permitted on any type of road. Although the use of acoustic warnings (horn) is generally prohibited in urban areas (built-up areas), the General Traffic Regulations establish clear exceptions. Its use is allowed both inside and outside built-up areas exceptionally to avoid a potential accident. Remember the distinction: to warn of overtaking, it is only allowed outside built-up areas; but to avoid an accident, it is allowed on all roads.
