If you are going to travel abroad by car, study not only the rules of exit and entry, paperwork and other regulations, but also the local Traffic Regulations.
The most ridiculous traffic rules:
If you are going to drive abroad, study not only the rules of exit and entry, paperwork and other regulations, but also the local traffic rules. Because they can sometimes "stupefy" even the most experienced "driver". First of all, with their absurdity. Here are just a few of them.
So,
If you are going to Germany, remember: the traffic rules of this country prohibit stopping on the autobahn even if the driver has run out of gas. In addition, you cannot walk along the highway. The fine for violating these rules can be up to 100 dollars.
Lovers of exotic countries (Sri Lanka, Thailand) are prohibited from driving a car with a naked torso.
In Australia, a taxi driver must have an armful of hay in the car (the law was introduced back in the days of using carts).
And in London, you cannot call taxi drivers by shouting "Taxi!" Drivers themselves can refuse a passenger a ride if the person is sick with plague or cholera. Any driver can relieve himself in a crowded place if the stream is directed at the rear wheel, and the right hand is on the same wheel.
At the same time, in South Korea, a traffic policeman is obliged to inform his superiors about the bribes he received during the day.
Well, and the record holder for the number of absurd rules is the United States.
So, in the state of Alabama, it is forbidden to drive a car blindfolded.
In the state of Pennsylvania, a rule is still in effect that requires a motorist to hide his car under a blanket when meeting a horse-drawn vehicle. Well, if the horse gets scared anyway, you need to urgently disassemble your car almost to the screws and securely hide it in the nearby bushes.
In the state of Michigan, for example, it is forbidden to sell cars on Sundays. It's strange, but even more incomprehensible why in Arkansas you can't honk your horn near sandwich bars after 9 p.m.
If you go to Montana and take a sheep with you, remember that you won't be able to do it alone, unless you want to break state laws. The authorities' opinion is that this responsible event definitely requires outside intervention and, of course, support.
But California probably outdid everyone. In this state (or in some of its cities), it is prohibited to: drive a car into a swimming pool, wash a car with used underwear, and keep anything other than a car in the garage. And also: your four-wheeled friend without a driver has no right to move at a speed higher than 60 km/h.
Have a good mood and pleasant trips. :-)
