Strange laws

I thought that some of you would find this article amusing. I hope that there is nothing offensive in it. I couldn't find anything.

I'm sure that there are numerous examples of crazy laws that have, at some time in the past, been introduced for some reason but have never been repealed.

My wife would be in trouble if we moved to Massachusetts.

No wonder Switzerland has such a high foreign population in its prisons. They just need to flush a deuce at night.

I'm familiar with at least one of the countries on that list, and what they're passing off as a law, is false, or at the very least grossly misinterpreted....

If you turn through incoming traffic in Belgium, you'll be T-boned...


What the correct law is: on an intersection without markings indicating otherwise, you have to yield to a vehicle coming from your right. If an oncoming vehicle and you want to turn into the same street, the vehicle turning right has the right of way.

It used to be that a vehicle coming to a complete stop gave up it's right of way, but this isn't true anymore.



I wonder how many more are plain wrong.
