A mechanic tests your car's horn. It works, but in normal conditions people can hear it only from about 120 feet away. Does it meet Ohio's rule?
Correct answer: It fails, because a horn must be heard from at least 200 feet away.
Why
The horn is a warning device, so other road users must hear it in time to react. Use it only to communicate, for example when a pedestrian or bicyclist seems about to move into your lane, and tap it lightly. Ohio law does not allow a siren, whistle, or bell on an ordinary vehicle.
