\n\t
Under no circumstances are you allowed to have a sheep in the cab of your truck<\/a> WITHOUT a chaperon. \u00a0The buddy system is a viable substitute for an adult chaperon. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn Arizona<\/strong>\n
\n\t
You’re forbidden from driving your car backwards<\/a>. \u00a0I hear the\u00a0parallel\u00a0parking portion of the driver’s exam is a real pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn Memphis, Tennessee; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Waynesboro, Virginia\u00a0<\/strong>\n
\n\t
It’s illegal for a woman to drive a car unless a man\u00a0escorts\u00a0her car while waving a red flag<\/a> to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians. The only way I’ll ever follow this law is if the man in front of me warns traffic like one of those dancing traffic cops<\/a> I’ve heard so much about.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn Massachusetts\u00a0<\/strong>\n
\n\t
<\/strong>Taxi cab drivers are prohibited from doing the horizontal polka in the front seat of their cabs<\/a> during their shifts. \u00a0Unfortunately, this doesn’t stop them from some afternoon delight in the back seat.\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn Arkansas<\/strong>\n
\n\t
After 9 pm you can’t honk your horn\u00a0where ice cold beverages and sandwiches are sold<\/a> . \u00a0So don’t even think about honking for a faster happy meal.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn Denver, Colorado<\/strong>\n
\n\t
<\/strong>You can’t drive black cars on Sundays<\/a>. \u00a0Apparently the color is too “dark and gloomy” for a Sunday afternoon.\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn Alaska<\/strong>\n
\n\t
It is illegal to strap your cat (or dog for that matter) to roof of your car<\/a>. \u00a0I guess Mitt Romney won’t be visiting Sarah Palin anytime soon.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn California<\/strong>\n
\n\t
Women can’t drive a car in their housecoat<\/a>, but you might as well leave your curlers in. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn San Francisco, California<\/strong>\n
\n\t
You can’t wipe down your car with an old pair of underwear<\/a>. \u00a0Double fines for using a freshly stained pair.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn New Jersey<\/strong>\n
\n\t
It is illegal to pump your own gas<\/a>. \u00a0This law has created the annoying t-shirt; \u00a0“Jersey Girls Don’t Pump Gas.”\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhat are some of the craziest driving laws you have heard of?\n\nImage source: Woodleywonderworks on flickr,\u00a0http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/wwworks\/<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are plenty of traffic laws in the United States that are pretty reasonable. \u00a0Stopping at red lights, not going above the speed limit, and driving slower in school zones all sound like reasonable requests to me.
