Have you watched enough "Road Rulez" to think you know the rules of the road? Passed your written exam with flying colors, did you? Before you get too confident, make sure you know these bizarre traffic laws that not only land you in the hot seat with the local authorities, they can also do some real damage to your auto insurance quotes.
Now, before you check these out, take a deep breath. Brace yourself. Make sure any and all drinks are well out of the vicinity so they don't come flying out your nose, because you're going to be amazed at some of these oldies but goodies that, while not always enforced, are still sitting around on your state's rulebooks.
Are you ready?
Did you know that...
· In Virginia, you can be cited for driving without your shoes on?
· In Alabama, it's illegal to drive while wearing a blindfold?
· In Alaska you are absolutely not, under any circumstances, allowed to tether a sled dog to the roof of your car?
· When driving through Arkansas it's illegal to blare a car horn anywhere sandwiches or ice-cold beverages are being served after 9 pm? (So what happens at 8:59?)
· You need to remember to bring your air mattress when you're visiting Eureka, California, because it's strictly forbidden to use the road as a bed?
· Seatbelts should be kept strapped tightly across your chest when traveling through Glendale, California, so you resist the temptation to make the illegal move of jumping out of a car traveling at 65 mph.
· You have to get out of the car to play on the slide when you're driving through Georgia? Driving through playgrounds is punishable by massive tickets, exorbitant court costs and, eventually, excessive auto insurance quotes.
· Keeping a good grip on your Red Ryder is a must when you're traveling through Iowa? The police there have forbidden tossing these accouterments out onto the highways. I guess they don't think they're proper travel accessories. I can't imagine why...
· The Dunkin Donuts in East Berwick, Maine, is strictly a no-parking zone? The police will gladly slap a parking ticket on your window. I'm not sure of the specifics behind this one, but it does make you wonder.
· You have to actually be able to present proof that you own a vehicle before you're allowed to honk the horn in University City, Missouri? It's illegal to honk the horn of somebody else's car.
· Swearing at passing motorists is illegal in Rockville, MD? You will be charged for a misdemeanor if your vocabulary isn't rated G.
So drive safely, check the rulebooks before you hit the highways, and remember: Well informed drivers are drivers with really, really cheap auto insurance quotes!
