Is Compensation Required if a Car Horn Scares Someone?
1 Answers
Whether compensation can be claimed if a car horn scares someone depends on the following factors: whether the behavior is illegal; whether it causes certain harmful consequences; and whether there is a causal relationship between the illegal behavior and the harmful consequences. If all three points are established, certain compensation can be claimed. The function of a car horn: The horn is the sound signal device of a car. During the driving process, the driver emits necessary sound signals as needed and according to regulations to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used to urge movement and transmit signals. How a car horn works: A car's electric horn produces sound through the vibration of a metal diaphragm. The electric horn consists of an iron core, a magnetic coil, contacts, an armature, a diaphragm, etc. When the driver presses the horn switch, current flows through the contacts and the coil, generating magnetic force that pulls down the armature, forcing the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature disconnects the contacts, interrupting the current and causing the magnetic force of the coil to disappear. The diaphragm, along with the armature, returns to its original position under its own elasticity and the action of the spring plate. The contacts close again, reconnecting the circuit, and current flows through the contacts to the coil, generating magnetic force and repeating the above action.
