How Do You Use A Motorcycle Horn Properly?
• Keep your thumb near the horn. Make sure the horn is large enough to be easily accessed, yet still small enough to avoid blocking your line of sight. • It is especially important that you’re ready to use the horn while passing another vehicle. This aids in making your presence known in case of an emergency. • Toot your horn at other cyclists or pedestrians. This should be done for the safety of both individuals involved. • While it is not essential to “lay on the horn” in this situation, it is important to alert the other individual of your presence. A short “beep” is more than enough. Honk your horn loudly, and for an extended period, during a crisis. • A motorcycle horn should be honked loudly when the you fear another car, truck or SUV is about to cut you off. If you are concerned that the automobile driver does not see you, and is about to move into your lane, the horn should be used immediately to attract attention.
