When must you NOT use your horn?

• A. While stationary on the road
• B. During a car wash
• C. In a tunnel
• D. In a quiet street at night

Answer: (A)

Horns are for warning others of danger, not for attracting attention or signaling that you’re waiting. If you’re stationary on the road, there isn’t an immediate hazard you need to warn about, so honking would just create noise, potentially startle pedestrians or other drivers, and could be seen as unnecessary or antisocial. Use the horn only when there’s a real risk of collision or to alert someone to your presence in a genuine danger situation. In the other scenarios, horn use would typically be avoided to prevent disturbance unless there’s an actual danger that requires warning.
