Funny road laws

The car is no longer a luxury, but an occasion for debate in the parliaments of different countries. As a result - a selection of the most bizarre, unusual and interesting and draft laws in the world.





The most "harmless" laws relating to appearance. For example, in Thailand, forbidden to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt. In general, this rule applies everywhere behind the scenes, but in many countries, especially in beach areas, is not observed.



In Denmark, enshrined in law the following rule: before you touch it, you need to check the vehicle sleeping child. Well, all of a sudden?



In Mexico, approved the long-awaited ban for many - now the girls in this country can not officially be painted behind the wheel of (hurray common sense!). Well, not much to men gloated, shave in the car also banned.



In the Philippines, appear to deal with congestion, create a schedule for a car according to the number. Thus, the numbers ending with the numbers 1 and 2 of "rest" on Mondays, 3 and 4 - stay at home on Tuesday, 5 and 6 do not appear on the roads on Wednesday, 7, and 8 - Thursday, well, 9 and 0 - Fridays . Over the weekend, go all!



Of course, most of the countries have come up with road laws in the United States many years ago. At the moment, many of them have become obsolete, but continue to have legal effect (for example, in Pennsylvania driver must quickly hide your car if it will scare the horse).



However, remained from the old times and quite sane laws like that operates in Alabama. There is forbidden to drive barefoot. The law has a real precedent once bare driver could not time to press the brake pedal due to the fact that she was too hot.



And in the same Alabama, the law of capital is obvious: not allowed to drive a car blindfolded.



Completely different attitudes around the world to use radar detectors (devices that allow "catch" the wave of the radar and cameras photofixation DPS). In some countries (France, Finland, Spain) radar detectors simply prohibited. And in Luxembourg, Belgium and Sweden for the use of this gadget you can get a real prison term (three months to 8 years). But in Germany, exactly as in Russia, the use of radar detectors is not prohibited.



As for other popular automotive devices - DVR - its almost banned in Russia. One of the proposed amendments states that it is necessary to prohibit the use of "additional items or reusable cover, limiting visibility from the driver's seat" - under such a formulation could get any device located on the windshield.



But in Austria legally banned the use of recorders. According to the parliamentarians, the use of such devices is the invasion of privacy, as the record can get into people's faces and car registration plates.
