Is it illegal to honk your horn in Florida?

The Florida Senate (2) No horn or other warning device shall emit an unreasonably loud or harsh sound or a whistle. (3) The driver of a motor vehicle shall, when reasonably necessary to ensure safe operation, give audible warning with his or her horn, but shall not otherwise use such horn when upon a highway.

In a recently reported case, however, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that honking is not a First Amendment-protected activity. In that matter, a driver repeatedly honked her horn while driving past protesters and was issued a ticket for violating state law against misuse of car horns.
