TOP 11 WEIRDEST DRIVING LAWS
AMERICA! The land of the free. The home of the brave. Not to mention some weird driving laws. Not that all these laws are bad ideas, but many lead you to wonder what caused them to be put on the books in the first place. For instance, in California it’s illegal to jump from your car at 65 MPH. So what, is jumping from your car at 60 MPH okay? Lawyers.
Anyways, without further ado, here are the TOP 11 (because 11 is funnier than 10) WEIRDEST U.S. DRIVING LAWS:
11. In Scituate, Rhode Island, the law states that whenever you pass another vehicle you must give an “audible signal.” Screaming out, “This law is stupid!” is an acceptable audible signal.
10. In Youngstown, Ohio, it’s illegal to run out of gas. Finally, an incentive not to run out of gas.
9. In Derby, Kansas, screeching your tires is considered a misdemeanor and can cost you 30 days in jail. Screeching with your vocal cords will only leave you ostracized from the community.
8. In Crete, Illinois, it’s against the law for cars to drive through town. No wonder I’ve never driven there.
7. In Marietta, Georgia, it’s against the law to spit from a car or a bus. This explains why everyone in Marietta owns a truck.
6. In Blairstown, New Jersey, it’s illegal to plant trees in the middle of the street. You’d think it being impossible was enough.
5. In Alaska, it’s against the law to tether a dog to the roof of a car. But there’s no law regarding tethering cats to your car roof, so have fun with that.
4. In Alabama, it’s against the law to drive with a blindfold on. C’mon Alabama, have a little faith.
3. In Glendale, Arizona, it’s against the law for cars to drive in reverse. Though they won’t admit it, they’re afraid putting a car in reverse may alter the course of history and cause a chain reaction that will destroy the entire universe.
2. In California, it is illegal for a car without a driver to go faster than 60 MPH. So to be on the safe side, try to keep it below 55 MPH when ghost riding the whip.
1. In University City, Missouri, it’s against the law to honk the horn of another person’s car. You may think this law is ridiculous, but every day University citizens get another painful reminder as to why they have this law on the books. You can’t imagine what those reminders might be, right? Best keep it that way. Sleep soundly tonight knowing you’re a good person, and that your mind isn’t twisted enough to imagine such horrors.
Well, until next time, Mind the rules of the road. Drive safe out there. It’s a weird, wacky world.
