Horns allowed at traffic lights or when sneaking around?

Often others are tricked into honking at others. Be it as an expression of emotions or as a warning sign. And sometimes it's a quick reaction that you didn't even think about. But there is clear ruleswhen honking is allowed and when not. Everyone knows the situation: The traffic light lights up green and the driver in front of you drives and does not drive off. You yourself are annoyed and don't understand why the person doesn't drive off. If you honk now, you're making a mistake. That's not allowed. Honking to express emotions is prohibited. Honking is permitted in a dangerous situation. But that would not be the case there. In addition, the horn may be honked if you outside built-up areas want to overtake. Even if others are endangered, honking is allowed. Hazards are circumstances that could cause an accident.

Honking is not an educational measure

It may not be honked if this would cause uncertainty or startle the driver. horns are accordingly verboten. If you don't drive off at a green traffic light, you can not be honked, as this poses no risk. The unnecessary honking is also a noise nuisance and can be punishable. A caution money up to € 10 may be due. If it were to be reported, the costs would be much higher. The audible signals (Noise Obligation/ AVAS System Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System) from e-cars are not horns and have nothing to do with them. There are no engine noises in e-cars, hence the acoustic signals. At a speed of 20 km/h and when reversing, these sounds serve as a warning system.

Of course, that wasn't the end of it.
