Using a horn

Only use a horn to:

  • warn other road users of on-coming danger; or

make them aware of your presence for safety reasons when reasonably necessary.

Remember, the horn does not give you the right of way.

Do not use a horn in a built-up area between 11.30 at night and 7 in the morning unless there is a traffic emergency.
