What is the main purpose of the moped's horn?

• A. To alert other road users to your presence and help prevent collisions.
• B. To make the engine sound louder.
• C. To signal that you are turning.
• D. To indicate you are in a hurry.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the horn is a safety device used to quickly alert others to your presence so you can prevent collisions. You use it when someone might not see you yet—like around a blind curve, at intersections, or when a pedestrian or cyclist unexpectedly enters your path—so they can react in time. It’s about warning, not making the engine louder. A horn isn’t a reliable signal for turning and shouldn’t be used to express hurry or frustration; use proper turn signals or hand signals for turns, and reserve the horn for necessary warnings. Use it briefly and appropriately to grab attention and reduce risk.
