I think it stops being a peaceful protest if you erect structure and continually inconvenience residents by blasting your horns 24/7. Go on the street, show what you protest against, what you want.

I don't think the truckers should be going into residential neighborhoods and making noise at all hours - but it's hard to argue that it's violent.
