Ah Horns- there is a subject close to my heart-when I started on motorised two wheel transport two things became very obvious, 1. the horns on motor bikes/scooters were inadequate. 2. your likely nemesis was the Hillman Minx driven by a male wearing a flat cap and smoking a pipe. They never looked right ot left at T junctions. Now the advice in the Highway code was horns were only to be used in an emergency. Surely if you could avoid a emergency by using you horn?maybe maybe not. You will gather Im the man who sounds his horn on the approach side of the blind bend - just in case. Not every time and sure as eggs is eggs the occasions I fail to do some pillock is coming round the bend like ???? So I find the MGRover horn position ok for me and my peace of mind. I dont know what the official ruling on horns is in France, can you help Colvert? Chris S.
