How far away should a horn be heard during inspection?

The correct distance for a vehicle's horn to be heard during an inspection is 200 feet. This measurement is based on safety regulations set forth for vehicle standards. The purpose of the horn is to alert other drivers and pedestrians of a vehicle’s presence, particularly in situations where visibility may be compromised or where another vehicle’s actions could pose a risk.

A horn that can be heard clearly at 200 feet ensures that it meets the necessary safety requirements for effective communication on the road. It is vital for preventing accidents and ensuring that all road users are aware of each other, especially in busy or high-traffic areas. Meeting this standard is a crucial component of the vehicle's overall safety inspection.
