1. Klaxon
Un klaxon est un dispositif sonore utilisé pour avertir les autres usagers d’un danger ou attirer leur attention lorsque cela est nécessaire à la sécurité. La plupart des véhicules à moteur sont équipés d’un klaxon électrique commandé depuis le volant. Les règles de circulation limitent généralement l’usage inutile ou excessif du klaxon, notamment dans les zones urbaines ou résidentielles. Il doit donc être utilisé comme un dispositif d’avertissement plutôt que comme un moyen d’exprimer sa frustration ou de saluer d’autres usagers.
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 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.

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.

In countries with periodic technical inspections, the operation and condition of the horn may be checked as part of the vehicle's safety equipment.
