Code: Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue. Fireworks stores may not sell fireworks to Pennsylvania residents. If a driver sees a team of horses, he is to pull to one side of the road and cover his machine with a blanket or dust cover that has been painted to blend into the scenery, in the event that a horse refuses to pass a car on the road, the owner must take his car apart and conceal the parts in the bushes. These are laws in Pennsylvania that are pretty ridiculous, there are a few others that are weird. |

Last I knew, Vermont had a few like "No whistling under water." or "A Woman may not ask a Man on a date", and I remember seeing somewhere that a southern state has a law that says "It is illegal to serve ice cream on top of apple pie" or something around there. |

Alaska: - It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane. - No one may tie their pet dog to the roof of a car. You just know these happened at least once. I'm surprised there's no law against kissing a moose. There's usually at least one terrorist tourist who's dumb enough to try it every year. |

"Comic books which depict any illegal acts are banned." "Full text of the law." "35% of a radio stations content must be “Canadian Content”." "Full text of the law." "You may not pay for a fifty-cent item with only pennies." "Citizens may not publicly remove bandages." "It is illegal for clear or non-dark sodas to contain caffeine." "Businesses must provide rails for tying up horses." "Wooden logs may not be painted." "You may never use dice to play craps." "If you are released from prison, it is required that you are given a handgun with bullets and a horse, so you can ride out of town." "When raining, a person may not water his/her lawn." "It is illegal to turn right on a red light at any time." "Margarine producers can’t make their margarine yellow." "All business signs in the province of Quebec must be in French." "Why does this law exist?" "Bylaw states that no more than 3." "If you have a water trough in your front yard it must be filled by 5:00 a." "Homeowners are responsible for clearing snow off of municipal sidewalks." "The city is classified as a no-pee zone." "The color of house and garage doors is regulated by city bylaws (a purple door get you a fine)." "You can’t work on your car in the street." "It’s illegal to climb trees." Those are from the website that jointntoday had a link to. It's from all across Canada. |

jointntoday wrote: "You can’t shoot any game other than whales from a moving automobile." What the hell? What whales are going to be kicking about in an inland state? That's just surreal. Over the pond we have things like: - All English males over the age 14 are to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy. - Chelsea Pensioners may not be impersonated. - Any person found breaking a boiled egg at the sharp end will be sentenced to 24 hours in the village stocks (enacted by Edward VI). I consider the Chelsea Pensioners thing absolutely hilarious. |

I don't know about that website, seemingly those laws are outdated. I do however know that it is against the law, in the UK at least, to think of committing a terrorist act. Ooer. There was also a bylaw a while ago in which a county council outlawed the singing of offensive songs. This was repealed. :p |

it was on the news a few months ago this dude got a ticket for like over $200 because he honked his horn on a highway... yes that is a real law (that you cant honk your horn on a highway) but it was set back in the 1800's and never removed and that cop seemingly has nothing better do to then to write tickets for a out dated law...everyone honks their horn on highways! it was funny because the guy wanted to fight the ticket so he went to court over it and the judge didn't even know it was a law! the guy honked because the person infront of him was on their cell phone and was going like 15 mph under the speed limit...its not like he did for no reason (and even that is illegal on ANY road.) |

Shane took all of the ones that I knew already, and I few I'd never heard of but I looked around for some weird bylaws and I found a few. A couple of them seem too crazy to be true though. :S The Queen Elizabeth Hotel must feed your horse freely when you rent a room. You may not wash your car in the street. You may not park a car in such a way that it is blocking your own driveway. "For Sale" signs are not permitted in the windows of moving vehicles. Cars parked in public places must be locked, and their windows must be down to less than the width of a hand. One's rear license plate may not be protected by glass or plastic. You may not swear in French. Citizens may not spit on the street. |
