Honking a horn for a long time.

Don't do it - it's really annoying and, oftentimes, illegal.

Unless you're in the big tent and it's part of your job.

Did not get the whole story. Website error

I now agree that honking the horn is illegal when someone pulls in front of you even if most of my story missing due to a website error. Could I still get a ticket or a summons to go to traffic court in the mail? I live in Toledo, Ohio.

The website error is that the "Preview Post" function eats posts. It won't stop.

That IS annoying. Is it illegal?

Yes you could.

Honking the horn to let someone know about a dangerous situation is not illegal. Honking the horn for a long period so that the other person knows just how mad s/he made you is illegal.

I taught my kids that, generally, if you have to honk, then you already screwed up by not seeing the situation develop in the first place. Of course, there are exceptions, but it is exceedingly rare for a situation to develop wherein blowing the horn is the ONLY way to avoid an accident.

In Georgia, honking the horn for a long time could lead you to being shot (since we now have this stupid open gun carrying law). The defense of the person doing this would be "your honor, he needed killin'".
