The audible warning devices (the horn) must be used from a distance of at least 25 meters from those to whom they are addressed (approximately the length of 5 cars parked one behind the other) and for a duration of time that ensures the perception of the signal, without frightening them and without causing them to make maneuvers that may endanger traffic safety.
However, the audible warning devices may also be used from shorter distances when they are used for avoiding an immediate danger. For example, if you notice a pedestrian who is crossing the street without making sure, at less than 25 meters from your vehicle, you can use the horn to warn him and to prevent a possible accident. This audible signal can alert him in due time, allowing him to stop and to avoid entering the dangerous area.
The correct answer is: C
Regulation** - Article 112
The drivers of vehicles signal with the warning devices light, audible or with the arm, as appropriate, before performing any maneuver or for avoiding an immediate danger.
Regulation** - Article 113
(1) The audible warning devices must be used from a distance of at least 25 m from those to whom they are addressed, for a duration of time that ensures the perception of the signal and without causing them maneuvers that may endanger traffic safety.
(2) Signalling with the audible warning devices cannot be used in the areas of action of the sign "Horn prohibited".
(3) Exceptions from the provisions of paragraph (2) are:
a) the drivers of motor vehicles with priority traffic regime when they move in intervention actions or in missions that have an emergency character;
b) the drivers of motor vehicles who use this signal for avoiding an immediate danger.
