Anyone know if a klaxon is legal to use on the road?

Construction and Use Regulations 1984, Martin:

Audible warning instruments
37. (1) (a) Subject to sub-paragraph (b), every motor vehicle which has a maximum speed of
more than 20 mph shall be fitted with a horn, not being a reversing alarm or a two-tone horn.
(b) Sub-paragraph (a) shall not apply to an agricultural motor vehicle, unless it is being driven
at more than 20 mph.
(2) Subject to paragraph (6), the sound emitted by any horn, other than a reversing alarm or a
two-tone horn, fitted to a wheeled vehicle first used on or after 1st August 1973 shall be continuous and uniform and not strident.


The final three words probably answer your query :)

Fitted one to our VW T25 campervan some years ago, the MoT guy couldn't hold his pen still due to laughing uncontrollably at the Klaxon. It passed several MoT's without any issues and-was-a-real-hoot :lol: :roll:

A wise man once told me that "it depends". I sometimes agree.
