California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

In which of the following situations should you not use your horn?

When another driver cuts you off When you are driving less than 20 mph When a pedestrian is in the crosswalk When it is safe to pass

Correct Answer:

When a pedestrian is in the crosswalk

Explanation:

A horn should not be used when a pedestrian is in the crosswalk because this can startle or scare the pedestrian, potentially causing them to panic or make a mistake while crossing the street. A loud horn can also be seen as aggressive or intimidating in this situation. While it may be tempting to honk at a driver who cuts you off, it is not an appropriate or safe use of a horn. It is also not necessary to use a horn when driving at low speeds, as honking is generally used as a warning signal at higher speeds. If it is safe to pass another vehicle, it is not necessary to honk as passing itself is a signal to the other driver that you are about to overtake them.
