Настроение сейчас - :)))Weird Traffic Laws That Could Get You A Ticket
We want you to stay on the right side of the law when traveling our wonderful country and would hate to see you fined or jailed for breaking a law you were simply unaware of (or unlikely to even imagine).
And there are indeed some strange traffic laws out there that could come back to bite you.
Some are old, out-dated laws that just don't make sense today, but are still on the books and therefore technically still binding and enforceable.
Others are just plain odd and make you really wonder about common sense. At any rate, here's some odd driving laws to keep in mind when you're out and about.
Alabama
- When driving in Alabama, please remember to remove your blindfolds. You see, it's illegal to drive while blindfolded there. If you've been getting away with this in your state, you are now forewarned ... ditch the blindfolds in 'Bama.
Alaska
- When driving in our most northern state, don't forget to untie your dog from the roof rack. It's illegal to tether a dog to the roof of a car up there (who knew?). (I dunno, maybe strapping Fido to the hood or the bumper will keep you from being pulled over.)
Arizona
- In Glendale, cars are not permitted to be driven in reverse, so make sure you get it right the first time.
Arkansas
- If you've got a hankering for a sandwich or a cold drink while driving in Little Rock at night, lay off the horn ... or that snack can get very expensive. Yep, it's against the law to blare a car horn where cold beverages or sandwiches are served after 9 p.m.
California
- If you are a woman, it is illegal to drive in a housecoat. Look sharp ladies or they may just write you up.
- Also remember that a vehicle without a driver may not exceed 60 miles per hour. I bet this one probably gets a lot of people.
- In Glendale, it's illegal to jump from a car at 65 mph. So, make sure you keep from car jumping until you cross city limits.
- It's also illegal to shoot any animals from a moving vehicle in California, so put away the guns while driving ... except if you see a whale. Shooting them is okay.
- But if you end up in court in Los Angeles for one violation or another, please try to maintain your composure because it is illegal to cry on the witness stand and will only get you into more hot water.
Connecticut
- In Bloomfield, it's against the law to eat in your car, so remember to snack-up before hand.
- Like California, it's also against the law to shoot wild animals from your vehicle (no whales either) ... so pull that rifle back in the window as you enter Connecticut, deer season or not.
Florida
- The fine for hitting a pedestrian in Sarasota is $78. Hmmm ... not too bad actually. In fact, may be worth it for "some" people.
Georgia
- When in Dublin, please bear in mind that it is illegal to drive through playgrounds. So, if you're heading for the jungle gym, I'm afraid you'll just have to get out and walk,
- Also, when in Marietta, be aware that it is illegal to spit from a car or bus. The good news is you can spit from your truck ... that's okay.
- And drive extra defensively when the state assembly is in session because assembly members cannot be ticketed while that governing body is in session. Wonder who voted for that, huh?
Idaho
- There's good news when passing through Coeur d'Alene and you and your significant other suddenly feel "in the mood". While police officers are within their rights to break up any hanky panky, they must either honk the horn or flash their lights and wait approximately three minutes before getting out to investigate. If they don't do this, you just may beat the rap.
Illinois
- In Crete, cars can't be driven through the town. I guess the choices are to drive around the town, or maybe get out and push.
- In Evanston, it's unlawful to change clothes in an automobile with the curtains drawn, except in case of fire. So when changing your cloths, make sure you're clearly visible or they'll nail you. Sounds like a "fun" city.
- In Park Ridge, remember to park your truck out of sight because they can only be parked inside closed garages
Iowa
- If you're passing through Indianola, you better not be in a truck selling ice cream ... it's illegal there. Yep, the "Ice Cream Man" has been banned.
Kansas
- When in Derby, please be aware they put a high value on peace and quiet. Screeching your tires, for example, is considered a misdemeanor and can cost you 30 days in the slammer.
- In Topeka, it's against the law to transport dead poultry on Kansas Avenue. So, use an alternative route when traveling with a bucket of chicken wings.
Maryland
- In Rockville, swearing from a vehicle is considered a misdemeanor. So, either clean up the vocab, or get the #@&* out of the vehicle before laying into someone.
Minnesota
- In
