Correct answer
- BSí, en cualquier clase de vía.Yes, on any type of road.
Explanation
The horn may only be used as an exception: to avoid a possible accident, especially on narrow roads with many bends; outside built-up areas, to warn that you intend to overtake; or to warn other road users that you are there when on an emergency call.
