Outside built-up areas, in which specific situation is the use of acoustic warnings (horn) permitted?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish clear rules for the use of the horn. Outside built-up areas (interurban roads), its use is permitted in three cases: 1) To avoid a possible accident (also valid in urban areas), 2) On curves or narrow roads with poor visibility, and 3) To warn the driver in front of the intention to overtake. The latter is the correct answer because it is the key distinction regarding urban areas, where using the horn to signal overtaking is prohibited. Using it to greet or attract attention is strictly forbidden as it causes noise pollution and distractions.
