Just my reasoning but to rev -blib-the throttle you have to have the clutch in or you would shooting forward and your right hand is manipulating the throttle
Horn--move thumb but still have both hands available for clutch,brake or throttle whether you may need to brake or accelerate out of trouble. Tooting a horn only means one thing--I AM HERE--it is not an instruction for you to do anything but make you aware of the other vehicles presence.

Aye true enough, but then I don't think revving or tooting is a good way of grabbing another rider's attention. Another rider, especially a Learner, is more likely to be spooked and lose balance. If you don't think the rider has seen you then you should maybe hold back and just wait till you have a good opportunity to overtake.
If you want a car to be more aware then fair enough, a cage driver is in a bubble and probably has music on or another passenger to distract them form what's behind them. Or it could have the adverse effect and provoke them into an aggressive action, bad for all involved. Yeah they might let you go but they could be annoyed for the rest of their ride which could have worse consequences.
