Driving Ohio

It is unlawful to use a car horn excessively.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

While honking is a normal part of driving, leaning on the horn to express road rage is technically a violation. The horn is legally reserved for issuing reasonable warnings to prevent accidents, not for screaming at the driver who cut you off.
