Are you allowed in this situation to use the sound signal to urge on stationary vehicles?

Description

Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act. (Journal of Laws 1997 No. 98 item 602, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

Using the audible warning signal (horn) in a built-up area is only permitted when necessary to warn of an immediate danger. The situation shown in the video, which is vehicles stopped in traffic, does not constitute such a danger. Using the horn to hurry other drivers is against regulations. This is stated in Art. 29 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act.
