Correct answer

  • CCon ráfagas de luces.By flashing the headlights.
Explanation

In built-up areas you cannot use the horn to warn that you are overtaking; you can only do so outside built-up areas (Article 110 of the General Traffic Regulations). Instead, you can flash your lights, briefly switching between dipped headlights and main beam without dazzling anyone (Article 109).
