Laws on laying on the horn in Louisiana?

How long can you actually lay on the horn without getting a ticket, and whatnot (in BR, Louisiana). 5 secs? Need definite answer and reference to back it up.

Story behind it...

I was joy riding around in my car, and it came to a two lane merger. I was in the lane that was not merging, and a civic was in the other lane that had to merge over into my lane. I was already in front of her by at least a good 3/4 car length and her side was running out of space, so she decides to try and zoom ahead of me, cutting me off and forcing me to swerve out into oncoming traffic so as not to end up grazing the side of her car. Of course I was ******* pissed. I layed on my horn for a good 5 secs, and then after I stopped blaring the horn, she slows down to a complete stop in the middle of the now one lane road. She cracks open her door and flashes a police badge. (Piece of **** **** rag *****, like flashing your ******* badge exonerates the **** you just pulled. And had she have said anything, I definitely would have asked to speak with her supervisor. I love how cops think power means you can do whatever the hell you like, break whatever rules of the road there are. So much friggen corruption in the justice system.)

A) Who is at fault? (I would obviously think it was her, but just to be 100% sure.)

B) How long can you lay on your horn in Louisiana without getting any tickets or whatnot against you?

Please state sources or articles in the code of whatever the hell it is so I can see for myself (as far as laying on the horn goes).

Thanks!

According to the statute below, the horn can only be used when reasonably necessary. Sounding the horn to warn the other driver is acceptable. Sounding your horn to let her know you were not happy with her is illegal.

Yes, cutting you off was illegal. However, what you did was illegal also.

§351. Horns and warning devices

A.(1) The driver of a motor vehicle shall, when reasonably necessary to ensure safe operation, give audible warning with his horn, but shall not otherwise use such horn when upon a highway of this state.
