1. Horn
A horn is a sound-producing device used to warn other road users of danger or to attract their attention when necessary for safety. Most motor vehicles are equipped with an electric horn operated from the steering wheel. Traffic laws generally restrict unnecessary or excessive horn use, especially in built-up or residential areas. The horn should therefore be used as a warning device rather than as a way to express frustration or greet other road users.
