If You Didn't Know...Honking...

Is ILLEGAL in New York.

Unless, of course you are about to hit someone.

But, if you're not, and no one is in imminent danger of Death by Taxi—hence, you are just being an ass—then it will cost you $350.

Except, I've never seen anyone get a ticket for honking, but I did watch Kent get a $ 50 ticket for smoking a cigarette within the parameters of the outdoor subway stop at Yankee Stadium.

So I'll keep on keeping on with my "SHUT UP! Won't you juuuust shuuuut up!" plead to the just-emerged-from-the-Queensboro-tunnel jackasses when I walk down East 63rd St.
