In which case is a driver of a non-priority vehicle permitted to use acoustic warnings (horn)?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish that the use of acoustic signals must be exceptional. Drivers of non-priority vehicles may only use them in three specific situations: 1) To avoid a possible accident (valid both inside and outside built-up areas). 2) To warn of the intention to overtake another vehicle (exclusively outside built-up areas). 3) To warn, in case of emergency, of their presence as a vehicle performing an urgent service. Therefore, the correct option is to avoid a possible accident. Using it simply for an obstruction without imminent risk or for others' maneuvers not classified as a collision risk is not justified.
