Normas de tráfico
Polonia
70. Claxon
El claxon es un dispositivo sonoro utilizado para advertir a otros usuarios de un peligro o llamar su atención cuando sea necesario por seguridad. La mayoría de los vehículos de motor disponen de un claxon eléctrico accionado desde el volante. Las normas de tráfico suelen restringir su uso innecesario o excesivo, especialmente en zonas urbanas o residenciales. Por ello, debe utilizarse como dispositivo de advertencia y no como forma de expresar frustración o saludar a otros usuarios.
What is a car horn?
A car horn is a sound-producing warning device used to alert other road users when their attention is needed for safety.
When should you use the horn?
The horn should generally be used when a sound warning is necessary to help prevent danger or an accident. The exact circumstances in which horn use is permitted depend on local traffic laws.
Can you use the horn to show annoyance?
Generally, no. A horn is intended as a safety warning device, and unnecessary or excessive use may be prohibited by local traffic rules.
Can you use the horn at night?
Rules for using the horn at night vary between countries. Some traffic laws restrict sound signals at night and require drivers to use their lights instead, except when there is immediate danger.
Can a vehicle horn be modified?
Vehicle horns may have to meet technical requirements for their sound and operation. Horns that imitate emergency-service sirens or otherwise fail applicable vehicle standards may be prohibited.
Is the horn checked during a vehicle inspection?
In countries with periodic technical inspections, the operation and condition of the horn may be checked as part of the vehicle's safety equipment.
