QUOTE(sr20_det @ Apr 27 2005, 08:04 PM) nah they're not legal if they are hooked up to your actual horn, if its a seperate switch then it should be ok?? I believe thats right its illegal to have it on your normal horn, as its not for emergencys or somethin like that? [right][snapback]5086510[/snapback][/right] Thats also what i heard, i tried consulting DOT website, but couldnt find anything (note: i didnt look very hard) |

QUOTE(Lexcen @ Apr 27 2005, 08:09 PM) From what iv heard, you have to have a horn, for emergencies, road rage, saying bye to your mates etc. once again, consulte DOT website, but im pretty sure you do have to have a horn  I didnt know you needed a horn for road rage. I might have to talk with the RTA on that one.

QUOTE(RB30 @ Apr 27 2005, 08:07 PM) Is it legal not to have a functional horn? Cause when I got my new Momo steering wheel a few months ago the horn was disconected.  Almost certain it is illegal, I'd get that fixed quick smart. How are you meant to warn somebody of an emergency situation if your horn doesn't work???As for the air horn, sr20_det and roweysvn are winnah, from what I've heard. Seperate switch, should be fine. Just make sure the original horn works exactly the same as it does standard. |

and it isn't that hard to wire it up with a separate switch. I just tapped into the wire that goes to the normal horn, crimped on a splitter and fed wire through the firewall, to a swtich, then back to the air horn. |

Illegal to use at any situation tho - unless at a private thing like a show or something. |

i have a multi sound polyphonic horn and normal air horns and then one of the novelty air horns (all on seperate switches) but i was told u can have em and use em as long as ur not in like a built up area or on a busy road or wateva, when im at ute shows and stuff ive sounded em infront of cops and they've neva said anything so yeah, i think its one of those things that sum people say are legal and sum people will tell you they're not. |

There is nothing to stop you having them in your car, you just can't use them on a public road. |
