When is it illegal to use your horn?

23/3/2016

A horn should only be used when warning someone of any danger due to another vehicle or any other kind of danger, and not to indicate your annoyance.
It is illegal to use a horn on a moving vehicle on a restricted road, basically a road that has street lights and a 30 mph limit, between the times of 11:30 p.m. and 07:00 a.m.

Reverse beepers sound when you select reverse gear. This can be deselected by the driver of the bus. But if the driver turns it off and hits pedestrian he will be investigated. So as much as he wants to be nice to the neighbours, he has to make a noise. These reverse beepers don't have same regulations as a car horn. Unfortunately the bus driver has his hands tied, And the person that makes the rules lives in a nice country house. The best thing to do is buy an old knackered bus and put it in reverse with ignition on one click so it makes a noise outside a politicians house.

That’s not true, you also cannot use a reversing horn between the hours of 2330 - 0700, there is a button in the cab to turn it off, generally there is also a sticker stating the times when it should be turned off. It’s also one of the questions asked when taking your initial CPC walk round check.

Could you please clarify if this applies to the reversing horn on buses! We have been bombarded with two services each every 7 minutes so you can imagine the sheer volume of them. Iam awoken by the reversing horn at 4.30am onwards even 12.30am. I have complained Day in day out to NCT but they say they are advised by the police that they are in accordance with the law to do so. I live in a very quiet estate and have so for almost 22yrs and although we had a bus service for all these years one bus every 10-15 mins they suddenly with no warning put huge buses on the service and extended another service to come here also although there is no need! Both myself and other residents are suffering sleep deprivation and depression from all this! When I rang the police they said it's not a police matter. Environmental health said they can't help, councillors get no where and NCT just fob us off. I love my home I'm on a quiet nature reserve estate but running out of options other than to move home! Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

The bus driver has control of this horn and it can be turned off before putting the bus into reverse gear. The police advise is wrong and you should write to the chief constable with your complaint, PC plod only intends doing as least as is possible..

I have the same issue of busses sounding horns on reversing at the rear of my property 24/7. This is illegal and totally unnecessary as they are stationary and all busses have reversing alarms and reversing lights anyway.

Jeremy Bonington-Jagworth

As John points out, it's a reversing warning (beeper):

NOT the horn!

Anthony Larlham

Reversing alarms are exempt under Construction & Use Regs 1986 Sec99, if bus (or truck over 2000kgs) is moving backwards with engine running.

Paul Lewin

17/11/2019 12:31:21

Certainly the theory part of your test is relevant to it yes, your overall 'practical' driving skills could (and should) be looked at also. A person who has passed their UK driving test should know what deliberate mis-use of a vehicle's horn is, without it having to be explained to them.

Why do we have laws that the police do not uphold, beeping your horn and sticking your hand out of the window to wave at a resident three doors away should be stopped!

Rule 112
The horn. Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively. You MUST NOT use your horn

while stationary on the road
when driving in a built-up area between the hours of 11.30 pm and 7.00 am
except when another road user poses a danger.
Law CUR reg 99

E.g. When you are stationary, if someone reversing on to your vehicle then you can sound the horn.

I have the same horn sounding as they pull off for work 6:45 am
10 feet from my bedroom window
.
council say they don't find it an annoyance or an offence .

they told me its just the way you perceive it ??. it may be that they don't now its affecting your sleep ???.

6:45 am I have mentioned it to council several times so they do .

its alright having laws and rules but it depends on the personal opinion of the people you tell not what's written .

Write to the police. Section 59 of the Road Traffic Act allows the police to give drivers a warning if they are reported to have used their vehicle in a manner which causes "alarm, distress or annoyance". If that vehicle is then used to commit further act/s of "alarm, distress or annoyance" within a year, the police have the right to confiscate the vehicle.

Dawn Mcreadie

Eboni Thomas

28/7/2019 15:28:29

It baffales me that no one here see's the danger here..... The driver cannot see behind the bus. This helps to ensure that anyone or anything behind the bus knows that the driver is going to move into reverse therefore if unseen you have a chance to move to safety thus the driver cannot see you. However you can see the driver. Anyone who has a complaint on this matter should look at it this way.... If their child was backed over by a bus because there was nothing set in place to signal the driver or the child of the immediate danger how would they opinionate this matter then? Some people are so selfish to see things that can help others until it is them that has to bear the pain of such a selfless rule. Its not always about you! Look at everyone who would be effected by such a disaster and see if you would be okay with replacing yourself in their place.

Joe

5/12/2019 07:42:12

There's normally reverse cameras on busses now, so should all be down to the skill of the bus driver.
In India they don't even have reverse lights half the time and they manage it.

Joe

26/4/2021 21:03:50

Hi Joe, yes they may have reversing cameras on new busses but there are still plenty of old ones out there with out, also reverse cams have huge blind spots that you could hide am elephant in, so wouldn't advise bus drivers to purely rely on these

23/2/2022 08:05:01

Although failure to comply with the other rules of The Highway Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts (see The road user and the law) to establish liability.

Some rules within the code are also legal requirements and breaching them is a direct offence. The restricted use of the horn is not a legislated requirement and therefore its breach (per see) is not an offence.

That being said, such a breach of rhe code can be used as evidence for further offences, such as Anti Social Use of a vehicle or inconsiderate driving

jack

16/3/2022 21:11:54

This is correct..The Highway Code is mainly not law; but violating the Highway Code will definitely make your case harder to defend!

* As far as I can see, honking while stationary is always against the law.

* Honking when there's no danger is against the law.

Buscarello

28/2/2019 22:12:27

My advice to anonymous is "man up and identify yourself". It is an offence to sound your horn except when there is a danger to other road users. Reversing bleepers are audible warning devices and subject to the same rules as a horn, although I have driven vehicles not fitted with a switch. I always defect such vehicles! The 11.30 PM -07.00AM Rule only applies in a built up area ie 30mph zone with street lights.

Joe

26/4/2021 21:06:49

Apart from the fact the a reverse beeper is subject to a different law as it is not technically an horn

Some cars, notably Mercedes, sound their horn when the car is being locked. Agreed it is hardly a major nuisance but it's another annoying piece of street noise which appears to be an illegal act by the manufacturers.

Andy Moan

15/10/2019 14:38:00

I had a Renault Captur hire car, and it beeped for 15-30 seconds after locking, just out of respect to neighbours I googled how to turn that off and found that owners had the same problem and it was not being fixed by dealers, who had 'fully checked' all systems.

note - an online manual now says it is a feature that your dealer can turn off for you (kerching!)

I thought not using turn signal was some form of violation?

It seems as if everyone wants it in literal terms....... In life or death..... If hearing a horn infuriates you this much look at it this way; that long day where you were tired and slightly dosed off, not completely but you felt yourself slipping and this person on the opposite side of the road blew their horn and you snapped out of it saving your life and theirs. If hearing that horn infuriated you at that moment in your life, then maybe you just don't need to have anything to do with a car period. Its not always about YOU!

Can anyone clarify the precise legal situation here:

You are sitting behind a car at a red light which turns green. The driver in front is engrossed in something else and doesn't notice the green light. Is it legal for me to lightly toot my horn to alert him? This is not a dangerous situation so doesn't appear to be covered by the code. The only other way to alert him would be to leave my car and knock on his window, which is not safe.

John

18/8/2019 17:08:39

Normally it is illegal to sound your horn if stationary, except if there is a danger.
Sitting stationary for long at a green light can be considered dangerous because other road users might not expect traffic to be stopped if the light is green and bump you from behind by accident.
So you could use your horn if they take too long to start.

Jack

16/3/2022 21:43:50

I think you're wrong; I don't think it's legal to honk an inattentive driver at a green light. I think a little honk should be permitted, subject to other rules; but a headlight flash should be preferred.

I suppose that what you're supposed to do, is get out of your car and remonstrate with the inattentive driver. But there's a good chance he'd get out, and threaten you with a big old wrench.

Andy Moan

15/10/2019 14:41:00

The Highway code says you can sound it to make a driver aware of your presence, so I guess it's making him aware that you are presently waiting.

Jack

16/3/2022 21:45:16

Nope. If you're stationary, it's illegal to honk unless there is danger.

Fay

2/10/2019 21:14:46

Simon Fielker

2/10/2019 23:18:15

Couldn't agree more. People won't walk a car length, when they can pull up outside a house and blow their (multidirectional) horn. These are the same people who spend their life glued to a phone, but couldn't phone someone to come out of their house, either! I believe they're attention seekers with their "Look at me" attitude. Stupid and rude.

I told her she shouls stop it. I often work at night, my fiance is a driver he is so tired and here she is again. After 2 weeks she did thst again. Sometimes she is pressing horn multiple times in an angry manner. She just woke me up again and im ill feeling bad and now i cant sleep again. Should i just record her because she doesnt understand? She is just between houses on little street using horn to announce that she arrived.

I’ve just been woken up AGAIN by a chap parking right under my bedroom window and sounding his horn to pick up a lad three doors down - who is NEVER waiting for him! I’ve asked twice now that he doesn’t toot his horn and was told this morning in no uncertain terms that “it’s after 7am so they’re allowed to do it”. I told him to go read the Highway Code and thanked him for his common courtesy. I don’t think this is going to end well.
Deepest sympathies to you. x

Jack

16/3/2022 21:53:37

After 7AM, they're allowed to use their horn to warn of danger, if they're moving. Announcing that "Your ride is here" doesn't count.

Taxis should always just use a phone-call (they usually do); they all have a mobile.Private vehicles should just get out and press the doorbell, if they're one of the 5% of the population that don't have a mobile. Honking while stationary should be extremely rare.

What about when a pedestrian is crossing the road, already half across when a car decides to turn in (indicating too late) and beep at the pedestrian who has not yet made it to the other side?

Jack

16/3/2022 21:57:17

Illegal.

If you have time to honk, then you have time to brake. If you honk before braking, then you're reckless. If you brake before honking, then you're stationary when you honk, and so it is illegal to honk.

13/3/2020 14:38:23

I have a running gripe with a local taxi driver, who regularly picks up a neighbour, by pulling up in front of his house (door opens directly on to the street) and sits in car using four (loud) blasts of his horn to let his fare know that he is outside and waiting, rather than get out of his seat and walkin the three of four meters to knock on the door.

I have told him that Rule 112, of the Highway Code says: "You MUST NOT use your horn while stationary on a road - "except" when another road user poses a danger", and: "A horn should only be used when warning someone of any danger due to another vehicle or any other kind of danger, and not to indicate your annoyance." (I assume impatience and personal convenience (laziness)may be included here.)

The taxi driver says he can peep his horn whenever he likes between certain daylight hours.

I don't believe a taxi-driver should be exempt from regulations. We remain in dispute over this. Is my position reasonable, or does the Taxi driver have a case for using his horn in this manner?

Appreciate a legal (rather than a moral) response to this!

Thanks.

Jack

16/3/2022 22:04:36

You are in the right.

Problem is, these things are a matter of people getting on with one-another; it's not reasoable to expect the police to enforce every dot and tittle of the law and Highway Code.

You don't have a right to have nice neighbours, unfortunately - because that's what it comes down to.

Hi,

I have a question regarding the use of the horn.

Is it legal to horn at a vehicle which is driving 10miles below the speed limit causing the driver behind them to slow down and cause traffic buildup. This action of the slow moving vehicle is causing if not all most all the other moving vehicles behind them to use thier horn.

The time is 7pm and the speed limit is 30mph.

I have read the highway code but could not get a clear understanding of this. Is the slow moving vehicle posing any danger by driving 10miles below the speed limit? Is it not true that any moving vehicle driving 5miles slower poses more threat on the road than a vehicle driving 5miles faster?

Your answer to this would be greatly appreciated.

There is usually no minimum speed limit. Travelling at 20 in a 30 limit does not seem unreasonable since there was a campaign a few years ago asking drivers to do that. Beeping a car because it is doing 20 in a 30 limit is probably intimidatory driving, so it's probably illegal, but I'd be surprised if anything came of it because of a driver doing it - but you never know. Is doing 20 in a 3o limit bad? Ther might be a reason, such as there being a lot of kids around

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your response, just to clarify the street was completely empty with no pedestrian or children in sight. The driver had no traffic in front.

So your saying doing 20 on a 30 limit is perfectly ok. Even when the car behind is restricted to slow down any further due to the build up of traffic behind him. Is the car behind this slow moving driver now not at risk of driving too close to them and slowing down anymore increases the chances of a road traffic collision behind as well as in front. Their is a chain of drivers who are agitated/annoyed behind him also in the same position and any sudden braking from this driver now could result in a sudden accident.

Do you still not have the legal right to use the horn to alert the driver in front? I beg of you please let me use the horn, show some mercy.

I know thier might be some drivers out thier honking away as if it's like a musical instrument or something but I keep hearing people say it is illegal unless thier is a risk. How would anyone conclude to honk as inappropriate without a full picture and determine weather thier was a risk or not without being in the cockpit of the car.

Thier is certainly some greys here!

Go as slow as you like, just dont break the speed limit and thier will be no risk! Questionable!

Warning! Do not use the horn at any cost even if you are unsure of any risk. And if you are brave enough to blow that honk, make sure you have a full tank "for this will take you through a never ending journey to prove your innosence and justify your means"...of the legal use of the horn.

Apologies for the terrible humour and hope this does not offend anyone.

There is a minimum speed, it is undefined and can be classed as dangerous or inconsiderate driving - or obstruction of the highway.
The warning device (Horn) is there to advise other road users of your presence in appropriate circumstances. To give a short beep in these circumstances - to warn - a vehicle is behind you, is not unreasonable. Hanging on to the horn to tell someone to speed up is an offence, and the driver should continue at a reasonable speed, not exceeding the speed limit and ignore the driver behind (as per the Highway Code).

Hionking because you are impatient is illegal.

Hi, a car with a group of youngsters beeped and yelled out of car window when passing my nephew on his pedal bike. This cause him to loose his balance and he has now broken his ankle leg and has other injuries. Can you advise as to the law regarding this? Thankyou

Nigel

15/2/2021 17:26:18

If the driver did it, then it is dangerous and inconsiderate driving. If it was passengers, then it is more likely to be an offence under S.59 Police Reform Act 2002 Causing harassment alarm or distress or likely to cause harassment alarm or distress.

There is a van which delivers to a local shop every morning and as it pulls out of the side alley into our road it beeps, every morning circa 730 without fail. He's obviously doing it to warn cross traffic but surely he should instead stop and look rather than honking. It's mildly annoying. It's after 7am and I can see the logic but it's a totally unnecessary disturbance. Worth reporting or is he within his rights?

Can someone blow their horn behind you at a roundabout. It happened to me this morning and it frightened me. I felt pressurised to move into the traffic. I was really angered by it because I wasn’t there long. Many thanks

The offence is Misuse of a Warning Device - speak to your local Safer Neighbourhood Team. If they are unable to deal, speak with your local MP or better still, tweet the issue including the local Safer Neighbourhood Police and your MP. It is a police matter, I have dealt with loads of them £50 fixed penalty fine.

Horns should be removed from all cars. They are entirely unnecessary, in the modern use of a motor vehicle.

A significant proportion of motorists regularly misuse the horn and in doing so endanger the lives of other road users.

As a cyclist, pedestrian and motorist the amount of times I have experienced and witnessed illegal and improper horn use is incredible. Poor drivers will race up behind other road users and blast their horns unnecessarily which can make the other person jump and cause accidents.

DO NOT USE YOUR HORN. UNLESS...

it is a live and death situation.

JCH

29/6/2021 07:44:04

Not true. I’ve had to use my horn when a driver was reversing towards the front of my car without looking behind properly. To say she was surprised when she heard my horn was putting it mildly, but it prevented damage to my car.

I don't see any mention of morons beeping just to say 'hi' and wave when they see someone they know walking down the street. This infuriates me because I consider a car horn an alarm sound and it breaks by concentration. If there is no actual hazzard, this could cause an accident. Is this an offence?

Where I live, some cars hoot when they pass a female on the pavement to shock them. other cars hoot outside my window (stationery) sometimes up to 5 or 6 times to tell neighbours they are waiting for them. sometimes they hoot to say goodbye, and sometimes they hoot because when they are dealing drugs, they don't want to use their mobiles. I hate the sound of hooting, it totally breaks my concentration, often makes me feel jumpy in my flat. (I wear earplugs much of the time) You are treated unpleasantly if you stand up for what is right and good, and goodness knows what would happen to me if I went up to a car and politely asked them to stop..

All in all, car hooting is one of the reasons I might leave the area.

I think generally society is losing its moral compass.

What is the rule for drivers beeping their horn when driving around a corner just to warn oncoming traffic near to a residential area?

Research enquiry

17/11/2021 22:12:15

Is it permissible to beep your horn at pedestrians? If so can a fine be issue is the beeping is part of harassment or unwanted, intimidating behaviour? Are there records of how many fines were issued in the uk last year for beeping offences and how much, why they were issued?’

I promise to share this testimony all over the world once my boyfriend returns to me, and today with all due respect I want to thank DR.ONIHA for bringing joy and happiness to my relationship and my family. I want to inform you all that there is a spell caster that is real and genuine. I never believed in any of these things until I lost my boyfriend, I required help until I found a great spell caster, And he cast a love spell for me, and he assured me that I will get my boyfriend back in two days after the spell has been cast. Three days later, my phone rang, and so shockingly, it was my boyfriend who has not called me for the past 6 years now, and made an apology for the heartbreak, and told me that he is ready to be my backbone till the rest of his life with me. DR.ONIHA released him to let me know how much I loved and wanted him. And opened his eyes to picture how much we have shared together. As I`m writing this testimony right now I`m the happiest girl on earth and me and my boyfriend are living a happy life and our love is now stronger than how it was even before our break up. So that`s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe. All thanks goes to DR.ONIHA for the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in any situation you are undergoing, it may be a heartbreak, and I assure you that as he has done mine for me, he will definitely help you too.

Here is my testimony.. I thought it was over for me when my ex left. I gave all I had for the relationship to work but it was all failure. 4month after my partner left me for another person, I was introduced to Dr Nana and he helped me bring back my ex in 11hrs. Now we are fully married and I am 2months pregnant. I promised Dr Nana that i will tell everybody about him if it works. I am very glad to be living a happy life with my love. He did it for me and I am 100% sure that he will do yours. I am a living example.

Dr Oniha, Here is my testimony from a Heart Warming indebted Client (Sonya Carlson from United states) Sir i had to write back to you though I am at work now to let you know that your spell has successfully worked, and he has returned back to me just as you said it sir. A beautiful red rose was just brought to my place of work from the man I contacted you about on December 18th. Sir, I am so happy to tell this to the whole world now that he returned back to me through your powerful spells yesterday at about 6:00pm. Everything worked out just the way you said it. No more doubt. Because he now realizes we were meant to be, and that we were compatible. This is actually hard for me to believe now. It’s really surprising!!

I am glad its my partner of old. I did not want to really go and be with someone else... You have removed the extra baggage that has been affecting us and holding us back. Peace to you Dr Oniha.

Maria Gonzales

11/7/2022 12:44:48

Worked for me and I just want everyone to know this is the right spell caster to work with.
My name is Maria. My husband left me for a younger woman and I was devastated. It was as if she had him under an evil spell, Gonzales turned against me overnight without any warning. It happened this year, I was desperate for him to return because we had built a lot together and it would break the kids hearts. I used every single spell casting website that I could find with no results. Then i saw a particular testimony about Dr. Unity and it really gave me hope because it was similar to my case. I contacted him and he explained everything to me on what i should do. He started working with me in April and as a result from all of his wonderful works, Gonzales is here right now beside me which is a dream come true. I’m so happy and privileged to have met Dr Unity. Thank you! If you have similar issues, kindly contact Dr. Unity and be rest assured to get help.

What is a Hard Hat?
A hard hat is a type of helmet that is primarily used in work environments including construction and industrial sites, to protect the head of the wearer from injuries. These injuries occur when falling objects land on the head of the user, flying objects hit the user’s head; the user falls on their heads onto a dangerous or hard object or even gets electrified. So, do you know how often should hard hats be inspected?

My wife and I will forever remain grateful to Dr Amber for his divine intervention in our lives. My wife and I fled from Burundi to Australia. We got to Australia and life was quite ok but we needed more funds to clear our bills. My wife did some research online to get help in winning the lottery and she got credible recommendations of Dr Amber who gives out lottery winning numbers with his magical spell. We got in touch with Dr Amber and he assured us that he can help us if only we believe in his work. We agreed to proceed with him and we bought one ticket in the Hospital Research Foundation Home lottery and played it just as Dr Amber instructed with the numbers he gave to us and within 5 days, we received the shock of a lifetime when we realized we've won a $3 million dollars house and $1 million dollars cash in the lottery. We want everyone to join us to appreciate Dr Amber. To know more, visit: amberlottotemple.com or call/text +18084815132 or email: amberlottotemple@gmail.com

Given that it’s illegal to just beep a car horn, why isn’t that enforced? I live in Limehouse near Branch Road (E14 8EG) and the only time I’ve had peace from car horns in 22 years was during lockdown. I’m actually really depressed reading this legislation because no car drivers in my experience take any notice and no one is doing anything about it. Even as I type at 23:06 on Thursday 18 August the noise levels from car horns is intolerable.

When is it illegal to use your horn?
