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 I'm 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 don't know what the official ruling on horns is in France, can you help Colvert? Chris S.
Sounding horns in France ???---The French do just what they like, especially following a wedding procession.

They must glow red like the brake discs on F1 cars.---


You can hear them coming and going from miles away.---











PS. Tourists banned from coming to France from tomorrow 17/12.21---until---
