Between 7.00 am and 11.30 pmThis was the right answer

Normally, do not sound the horn in a built-up area between 11:30 pm and 7:00 am, and do not use it while stationary except when another road user poses danger. The danger exception still applies outside the stated hours, so the marked time range is not an absolute ban.
