    • When stationary and in a built-up area between 11:30 pm and 7:00 amCorrect
    • When approaching a blind bend
    • When alerting a pedestrian of your presence

    Why that is the answer

    You must not use your horn when stationary or in a built-up area between 11:30 pm and 7:00 am, except when another vehicle poses a danger.

    How this comes up in the real test

    Questions from 2024/2025 updates appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.

    The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
