Correct answer
- ANo, en ningún caso.No, never.
Under Article 110 of the RGC, the horn may only be used to avoid a possible accident, to warn another driver outside built-up areas that you are about to overtake them, or in emergencies. Telling another driver that the light has turned green is using it without good reason, and that is prohibited.
