When is it appropriate to use your horn?

  1. To express frustration

  2. To alert other drivers of your presence when necessary

  3. To greet friends on the road

  4. To signal the end of a driving period

The correct answer is: To alert other drivers of your presence when necessary

Using your horn is primarily intended as a safety tool to alert other drivers to your presence when necessary. This could include situations where another driver may not see you, such as when you are approaching an intersection or another vehicle is encroaching into your lane. The goal is to enhance safety and avoid potential collisions by ensuring that other road users are aware of your vehicle's location and movements. The other choices do not align with responsible or proper horn usage. Expressing frustration can escalate tensions on the road and may lead to aggressive driving behaviors. Greeting friends is inappropriate because horns are meant for safety communication, not social interactions. Signaling the end of a driving period does not serve any purpose related to road safety and could confuse other drivers. Proper horn usage is about enhancing safety and awareness for everyone on the road.
