Can you get fined for honking your horn here in Florida??
Yeah … it’s rude, but is it technically illegal when you honk your horn out of anger? Everyone seems to think they know the answer. So what does the Florida law says? The law is vague: you can honk when it’s “reasonably necessary to ensure safe operation of your vehicle.” Otherwise it can be a $30 fine.
I had no idea. I guess the more you know…….
