Is it against the law to stick your hand out a car window?

In most jurisdictions, it is illegal to stick your hand out of a car window while driving. This is because it can be a distraction to the driver and could cause an accident. In addition, it can be dangerous for the person who is sticking their hand out of the window, as they could be struck by a passing object or injured if the car suddenly stops or turns.

However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, in some states it is legal to stick your hand out of the window to signal a turn or to indicate that you are about to stop. In addition, some states allow you to stick your hand out of the window while driving in a school zone or when you are stopped at a red light.

If you are caught driving with your hand out of the window, you could be ticketed and fined. The fine for this offense can vary from state to state.
