When can you not beep your horn?

**Timbuk2**

My friends have told me that it is illegal to beep your horn at certain times of day (maybe this only applies to built-up areas?).

I don't know if this is true, but I would imagine that it is.

What are the times that one is NOT allowed to beep their horn?

Thanks

Taken from the rules of the road

Only use a horn to:
warn other road users of on-coming danger, or
make them aware of your presence for safety reasons when reasonably
necessary.
Remember, the horn does not give you the right of way.
Do not use a horn in a built-up area between 23.30hrs and 07.00hrs unless there is a traffic emergency.
