Funny
Driving Laws (oh yes they are real)
We
thought you might enjoy some of these hilarious driving laws. All of the laws
listed below are 100% real. It’s amazing
that we live in a country that takes the time to make sure we are so safe, even
if it means protecting us from ourselves.
1. In
Alabama it is illegal to drive blindfolded. (Wonder if you can wear earmuffs
though?)
2. In
Rockville Maryland swearing from a car is a misdemeanor and can earn you a fine
of $350! (Make sure your windows are up.)
3. It
is illegal to play in traffic in Dunn North Carolina. (That must give a lot of parents’
peace of mind.)
4. A
law passed in West Virginia making it perfectly legal to scavenge road kill as
long as the fatality was reported no earlier than 12 days.
5. In
Derby Kansas you can go to jail for screeching your tires.
6. In
Glendale California it is illegal to jump from a car at 65mph. (so it must be
ok at 64.)

for a fire truck to exceed 25mph even if it’s on its way to a fire. (places not
