‘Expressive honking’ is not protected as free speech, California appeals court rules
Honking a car horn is not protected as free speech, the federal appeals court in San Francisco has ruled.
She sought to have declared unlawful the enforcement of Vehicle Code section 27001 against what she calls “expressive honking,” which she argued falls under First Amendment protections. A witness for the state, California Highway Patrol Sgt. William Beck, testified that “when a vehicle horn is used improperly, it can create a dangerous situation by startling or distracting drivers” and that the “horn’s usefulness as a warning device would be diminished” if officers were unable to cite drivers for improper use.
