Drivers of non-priority vehicles may only use sound signals or warnings: - To avoid a possible accident, especially on narrow roads with many bends. - Outside built-up areas, to warn the driver of another vehicle that they intend to overtake. - To warn other drivers and users of their presence when, as the driver of a non-priority vehicle, they are forced, with no other means available, to carry out a service normally reserved for priority vehicles.
