Explanation
Drivers should use the horn only when necessary, specifically to avoid collisions. Honking is not appropriate for expressing impatience with slow-moving drivers, nor is it to be used to prompt pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists to move faster. The primary purpose of the horn is safety – to alert others of your presence and prevent potential accidents.
