Correct answer
- CNo, está prohibido.No, it is prohibited.
On an urban road, to warn the driver in front that you intend to overtake, you may only use light signals, usually by flashing your headlights. Using sound signals for this purpose is not allowed in built-up areas. Outside built-up areas, however, you may use both forms of warning: lights and sound signals, always in moderation and without disturbing or confusing other road users.
