Run out of gas? Drive with mud on your tires? Stop for coffee? You’re not going to believe this but you could get a ticket for these offenses! There are some strange and crazy laws on the books in many town and states in the U.S. Be sure you don’t get busted for these crimes!
Fuzzy dice, air fresheners, boxing gloves or anything hanging from your rearview mirror that obstructs the view of the driver is a finable offense in New Jersey. So think twice before hanging something big and bulky!
Oh, S*^t! Don’t Curse at Fellow Drivers!
Don’t get carried away when someone cuts your off. Cursing, swearing or using obscene language that another person can hear is a finable offense in Rockville, Maryland!
That Coffee Break Could Cost You
You think you’re running in for a quick coffee? Think again. To keep things moving smoothly on the roads of South Berwick, Maine, you can’t park on the street in front of Dunkin’ Donuts. (Let’s hope they have a drive thru.)
There are always two kinds of people in this world. Those that fill up often and those who pull into a gas station empty and on fumes. (Sound familiar?) So be prepared if you’re in Youngstown, Ohio because they have a law about running out of gas.
Muddy Tires? Get Off The Road!
In Minnetonka, Minnesota, it is illegal to drive a vehicle with muddy, dirty or sticky wheels on a street or highway. Be sure to get out that hose and spray down those wheels, especially once Spring arrives.
It’s illegal in Eureka, California to use the road as a bed. So if you’re feeling a little sleepy you might want to find a softer (and safer) place to lay your head.
Ok. Not sure who would do this but it’s illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle in Alabama. I mean, come on folks. Safety first.
Consider this a GasBuddy public safety announcement: Don’t get caught committing these crimes! And if you have been busted for one of these or something similar, we want to hear from you!
