Explanation
You should avoid using your horn excessively, as it can lead to road rage or distract other drivers. However, it is appropriate to sound your horn to warn others of a hazard and help prevent collisions. If a vehicle is heading toward you in your lane, honk your horn and flash your high beams to alert the driver and make them change lanes.
