Is it acceptable to honk when overtaking?

[VanPeter]

Honking is permissible when overtaking. Here are the specific guidelines: Introduction: When overtaking, motor vehicles should activate the left turn signal in advance, alternate between high and low beams, or sound the horn. On roads without a central dividing line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the vehicle ahead should reduce speed and move to the right to yield when it receives an overtaking signal from the following vehicle, provided it is safe to do so. The overtaking vehicle should ensure there is sufficient safe distance before passing from the left side of the vehicle ahead. After creating the necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, the overtaking vehicle should activate the right turn signal and return to the original lane. Incorrect practices: Using the horn to "hurry" the elderly, weak, sick, or disabled; honking when entering or exiting hospitals, residential areas, schools, tunnels, or garages; heavy vehicles frequently using loud horns or sirens as warnings; honking at animals; and drivers with "road rage" using the horn to vent frustration.
