There have been plenty of times when folks have wondered “How did a law like THAT ever get on the books?” Yes, America’s legal history is packed with some seriously weird rules and regulations, many of which have yet to be removed from the rolls. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA thought they’d have a little fun and share some of the wackiest laws in America – as well as a few that are specific to Pennsylvania. Remember, Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA takes its customers and service seriously – but in the meantime, have a chuckle over these goofy laws.
In Alabama, there’s a law prohibiting operating a vehicle while wearing a blindfold. Talk about your “blind spots.” The good news is that today’s Toyotas come equipped with safety features like “blind spot warning” alerts. Of course, this negates actual blindfolds…
The Aloha State (Hawaii) has a law on the books that makes it illegal to have your vehicle’s hazard lights on – while the vehicle is in motion. Um, what?
Illinois law prohibits a driver from operating a car that doesn’t have a steering wheel.
Odd driving laws aren’t limited to combustion-engine vehicles: if you’re caught riding a bike in Wisconsin, and your hands aren’t on the handlebars, expect a ticket.
You might have to sit on a box to see over the steering wheel, but in South Dakota, you only have to be 14 to get a driver’s license.
In Oklahoma, you can get busted for reading a comic book while driving. The current crop of Toyotas, available at Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA, come equipped with plenty of features to keep you entertained, but will also let you keep your eyes on the road.
North Carolina law prohibits playing in traffic. But if there are any lawbreakers out there, Toyota’s Safety Sense features, with things like pedestrian detection, will help mitigate any potential dangers.
Of course, as one of the oldest states in America, Pennsylvania has its share of weird traffic laws. For one, it’s illegal to tie your horse to a parking meter (even if you have the quarters).
Speaking of horses, old Pennsylvania law cites that a driver should not only pull over in the presence of the equine but cover the car with a blanket until the horses pass.
Finally, because Pennsylvania has so much livestock, laws are laid out to protect them. If you’re driving at night on country roads, you’re supposed to stop every mile and set up a flare as a warning to livestock – then wait 10 minutes for them to pass. At that rate, expect to get home in about three days.
Yes, these goofy laws are fun. But if you’re in the market for a no-nonsense talk on one of the best-selling car brands in the world, come by Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA to see what we have to offer.
