There has been an article flying around the internet about a couple who were pulled over, fined, and due in court for sounding the 'dixie' horn on a replica General Lee. They were on their way to their wedding reception!
With a lot of horns being sounded from some Dayvans on our Southsea Cruises, I thought I'd use this as an opportunity to repeat the fact that you are not allowed, by law, to sound these sort of horns!!
- Car horns are not to be sounded between the hours of 2330 and 0700.
- Vehicles are only allowed to use single tone horns or twin tone horns that sound at the same time.
Any vehicles not following these two rules can/will be punished with points, fines and even court hearings.
The single/twin horn law was brought in on August 1st 1973 so I presume any vehicle older than that will be able to use other horns but I can't be sure.
So I cannot stress enough, as we have in the past, to please not sound these horns!! Don't get me wrong, I think they're cool, but it's not worth the trouble that will come your way!!
