Correct answer

  • CNo, salvo que sea estrictamente necesario.No, unless it is strictly necessary.
Explanation

Drivers of non-priority vehicles may only use audible warnings when strictly necessary and not for purposes other than those in the regulations. They may be used to avoid an accident, to warn outside built-up areas of the intention to overtake, or to warn other road users of your presence when on an emergency call.
