Is Honking Allowed When Overtaking?

[LeAutumn]

Honking is allowed when overtaking, with the following details: 1. Introduction: When overtaking, the motor vehicle should turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, or honk the horn. On roads without a central line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the vehicle in front should reduce speed and move to the right to give way when it receives an overtaking signal from the rear vehicle, provided conditions permit. The rear vehicle should overtake from the left side of the front vehicle after ensuring there is sufficient safe distance and turn on the right turn signal after maintaining the necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle before returning to the original lane. 2. Wrong Practices: Using the horn to "hurry" the elderly, weak, sick, or disabled; honking in hospitals, residential areas, schools, tunnels, or garages; heavy vehicles frequently using loud horns or sirens; honking at animals; and drivers with "road rage" using the horn to vent emotions.
