Spanish Driving School Clarifies Horn Use Rules: When It's Legal to Honk
Madrid, Spain – A recent educational video from Autoescuela Merinero has shed light on the often-misunderstood rules regarding the use of car horns in Spain, emphasizing that while generally prohibited, there are crucial exceptions where honking is not only allowed but necessary. In the video, an instructor from the renowned driving school clarifies, "It is prohibited to touch the horn." However, he promptly details situations where its use is permitted. "There is an exception that can be used, and we must use it, for example, to avoid an accident," he explained. Other permissible scenarios include overtaking two-wheeled vehicles at level crossings or on narrow, winding roads. The instructor also highlighted areas where horn use is strictly forbidden, particularly near hospitals and senior centers, where specific signage prohibits it. He warned drivers that "unmotivated use of the horn can lead to fines of up to 200 euros." The video serves as a vital reminder for all motorists to understand and adhere to traffic laws, promoting safer driving practices on Spanish roads.
