The present invention provides a horn system configured to electrically activate a vehicle's horn based upon the operational state of the vehicle. The horn system is configured to detect a shift from one gear to another gear on a gearbox of a vehicle, wherein a switch is actuated to transmit an electrical signal that is indicative of a selected transmission gear. A microprocessor having an electronic module is configured to determine the selected transmission gear and sound a horn of a vehicle to indicate to others of vehicle movement to ensure safety. The microprocessor transmits a signal to the horn to produce one honk when the vehicle is activated. The microprocessor transmits a signal to sound the horn twice if the gearbox is shifted into drive. The microprocessor transmits a signal to sound the horn thrice if the gearbox is shifted into reverse.
