Under Article 110 of the RGC, sound warnings are only allowed in exceptional cases: to avoid a possible accident, to warn another driver outside built-up areas that you intend to overtake, or in the cases in Article 70. Light signals may only replace them for those purposes. Hurrying another driver along is not one of them.
