You are not allowed to sound your horn in the following situations:
- When your vehicle is stationary (e.g., parked or stuck in traffic), you should not sound the horn except in an emergency to warn of danger.
- Between the hours of 11:30 PM and 7:00 AM (or 7:30 AM depending on the source) in built-up or restricted areas, unless you need to warn other road users of danger. This is to prevent disturbance during night-time hours.
- To express annoyance or frustration at other drivers or pedestrians.
- To greet someone.
- Repeated use or sounding the horn aggressively is also not allowed and considered misuse.
Overall, the horn should only be used while the vehicle is moving and mainly to warn other road users of your presence or imminent danger, not for social purposes or impatience.
