USE HORN WISELY
No car should be without a horn. It is absolutely necessary when driving at corners and in emergencies. The horn is especially helpful at crossroads. But drivers should not toot continuously. The best thing to do is to signal once or twice, then to refrain, and to listen whether there is any response from any other direction. Sounding the horn is also very important as a long-distance warning. It is just as well, for instance, when people are seen some distance ahead, to give them a fair w'arning. There are occasions when signalling should not take place. If a child rushes out of a door and suddenly tries to cross the road, do not blast the horn, as the child may stop, get confused, and run into the car. On the other hand, it is equally important not to sound the horn if not necessary, and also not to give pedestrians a shock by abrupt use of the horn.
