The everyday driving act that could cost people more than $400

Australia has clear rules about when a car horn can and cannot be used. Unnecessarily beeping one's car horn is considered a traffic offence, for which drivers can cop a fine ranging from $50 to more than $400, depending on where you live. In addition, failure to pay an outstanding fine can also lead to additional penalties.
