The crowds and stress are becoming more and more common in our cities. Two factors that make the car horn often become one of motorists’ “most common” friends, especially in big cities, from alerting a car stopped on the road that the traffic light has turned green to saying hello to an acquaintance. However, this ‘friendship’ can cost us dearly, because this acoustic signal cannot be used as it suits us. Indeed, improper use of the horn can lead to fines of up to 200 euros, categorized in article 110 of the General Traffic Regulations as follows: in case of loud or excessive use, for non-regulated purposes, or for acoustically protected areas and duly marked, the fine is 80 euros; but the use of a horn with a manipulated acoustic signal, or even its absence or poor condition, carries a fine of 200 euros. Standard Related News No Be careful with these elements of the car in view of high temperatures SM Not only the effects of heat cause a significant increase in aggressive behavior and violations by drivers, especially for excessive speeding; also in the vehicle itself But when can we use it? The DGT body itself sees some confusion in using the horn for certain cases where it is not clear whether we are using it to warn of a danger or for our own benefit. Is it put to good use if we activate it for a maneuver of questionable legality of the car that precedes us? We might think that this would warn the driver and the rest of the danger the maneuver poses, but once it’s over we would be ‘complaining’ about it.

To avoid these ambiguities, the DGT therefore clarifies which three uses for which different interpretations can be given are legitimate. First of all, to avoid an accident that can happen in poor visibility or when crossing narrow streets. When we drive in an emergency, such as transferring injured or women in labour, always accompanied by visual distress signals indicating the cause. As well as to warn of the position in case of overtaking other vehicles that want to enter the road.
