5 Bizarre Traffic and Driving Laws


 
When we’re on the road, we don’t tend to question the laws that we must follow. We stop at red lights and stop signs, we don’t turn right when signs tell us not too, and we obey the speed limits set by the state and counties we’re driving in, just to name a few basics.

But there are some rules out there that make drivers scratch their head. Every state has a few silly driving laws passed for one reason or another, many of which have been highlighted in Internet chain e-mails, memes and articles.

For example, did you know:

·   Arkansas authorities have deemed it illegal to blare a car horn where ice cold beverages or sandwiches are served after 9 p.m.
·   It’s a written law that you cannot drive a car with a gorilla in the backseat in Massachusetts.
·   You cannot transport dead poultry along Kansas Avenue in Topeka, Kansas.
·   Close your doors quickly in Oregon: you can be ticketed for speeding and for leaving your car door open longer than is deemed necessary.
·   It is illegal to plant rutabagas in the roadways in Chico, California.
