Weird driving rules that will make you question your own sanity

In Alabama, USA it’s illegal to drive while being blindfolded. Enough said no comments.
In San Francisco, California you cannot clean your car using underwear. By the way, who’s going to do that anyway?
Well, don’t get confused. In Costa Rica, it’s okay to consume alcohol while driving as long as your blood-alcohol level isn't above 0.75 per cent.
Hmm, okay let’s put this one straight. You cannot kiss in a moving vehicle in Eboli, Italy as it can lead to a fine of up to £415.
How ridiculous is that; on Sundays it is against the law to drive a black car. Oh by the way this rule is applicable in Denver.
In the UK, it is legal for a male to urinate in public, provided it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle. First tell me, who came up this law?

In Cyprus, drivers should never unnecessarily raise their hands off the steering wheel. If hands are found not on the wheels, then fines are always there.
In Germany, on the autobahns the cars move at a supersonic speed. So, stopping unnecessarily is not permissible. It is advisable that you should never run out of gas on the autobahns to avoid stoppage. Make sure your tank is full before you reach there.
What problem these policies have with Sundays. Forget driving a black car, you can’t even wash your vehicles on Sundays. But this is in Switzerland.
Why I am saying this? This is because you can’t drive a car in England unless you’re in the front seat. Now tell me, am I wrong?
It is illegal to spit from a car or bus in Marietta, Georgia. It is, however, okay to spit from a truck. Why, what difference will it make?
It’s illegal to start a car in Denmark if there’s someone under it. This is likely to avoid hit and run cases, I think so.
Well, it’s damn irritating when you are walking on road, and suddenly a car moved splashing muddy water all over you. But in Japan, doing this is actually illegal. There is even a law for this.

In Russia, if you will drive a dirty car, get ready to be fined around 2,000 roubles (approx Rs 3,400).
In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive.

In Beijing, it is illegal to stop for pedestrians, even if they are crossing the road.
In some Spanish cities, in one-way streets in you can only park on the side of the road where houses have uneven numbers on uneven days of the month, and on the side of even numbers on even days. You have to be an expert in Mathematics.
In Sweden, you are supposed to keep your vehicle’s headlights on 24 hours, even in broad daylight.

In Thailand, you cannot travel topless. This rule applies to all – men, women, on car, or bikes or for that matter inside a taxi too. Well, if you still don’t have to wear anything, be ready to give fines.
