Correct answer

  • CNo, porque está prohibido.No, because it is forbidden.
Explanation

Under Article 110 of the General Traffic Regulations, the horn may only be used to warn that you are overtaking outside built-up areas. On an urban road it is only allowed to avoid a possible accident, so it cannot be used to warn that you are going to overtake.
