Did you know that in Costa Rica, it’s okay to drink at the wheel of your car as long as you stop before you get drunk? If you think that’s a crazy law, then I have more:
Did you know that in Denver it’s illegal to drive a black car on Sunday?
Or that in Britain it’s illegal to urinate in public unless you’re by the rear wheel and touching your vehicle.
Sounds crazy, but these laws really exist and if you ever rent a car while on vacation in these places, you need to know the rules or it could cost you hefty fines.
There’s many more weird highway rules that visiting drivers should know about an so a U.K. company has listed “The World's 25 Most Unusual Driving Laws” in an infographic which you can access by going to https://www.carwow.co.uk/most-unusual-driving-laws.
It’s well worth a look.
