US Army Europe (USAREUR) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

In what situation may you not use the horn or headlights to signal intention?

When there are no pedestrians

In quiet residential areas

For non-emergency situations

The use of a horn or headlights is primarily intended to communicate intentions to other drivers or pedestrians for safety and to prevent accidents. In non-emergency situations, using these signaling methods can lead to misunderstandings or confusion. For instance, sounding the horn in a calm scenario may be perceived as aggressive or could startle other road users. Therefore, it is advised to reserve the use of the horn or headlights for situations that genuinely require signaling, such as alerting someone to danger or indicating a maneuver that others need to be aware of.

In contexts where there are no pedestrians, in quiet residential areas, or during daytime outside city limits, there can still be relevant reasons for using these signals, but doing so in a non-emergency context is not just advisable; it reflects a respect for the norms of safe driving.
