10 Countries With Crazy Traffic Laws

South Africa
Despite the fact that South Africa has an automobile for every five residents, the country believes that strict rules are needed to safeguard its livestock. Anyone in the country who fails to yield faces fines of around $500. In case when someone hits an ostrich, it simply results in extra animal cruelty charges.

Thailand
Men and women drivers must keep their shirts on in the famous Asian vacation spot. This includes drivers of automobiles, buses, and "tuk-tuk taxis." But can someone take off the shirt & try tanning themselves in the backseat?
Philippines
People are not permitted to drive in particular regions dependent on any day of the week & the final number on the number plate. If a vehicle's license plate finishes with 1 or 2, the driver may face fines when caught driving within crowded locations at particular times. That's also true in some places of Paris, but because of the yearly floods caused by typhoons, Manila is far stricter about these safety laws.
Japan
It is absolutely prohibited to drive while sprinkling any pedestrian with water in Japan. The restriction appears to be more strictly enforced during June when typhoons leave standing water on streets. Strange legislation permits anybody of legal age in a car to drink as long as the car's driver does not.
United States
It's prohibited in Montana to transport lambs or sheep in a car or truck without being accompanied by a chaperone. And in Alabama, it's unlawful to drive while blindfolded because, well, it's hazardous and foolish. New Jersey has odd legislation requiring citizens to honk before driving, since people wouldn't know when someone was passing the driver, saying hello, or warning about reckless drivers who like to hit the horn for no reason.

Germany
It is extremely unlawful to stop just on the Autobahn for no reason other than an emergency. Running out of gas is also deemed completely unacceptable since it's considered as driving carelessness.
Russia
Driving an unclean automobile can result in a fine of around $55, irrespective of whether it is not clean on its interior or exterior. Originally enacted to preserve licence plates and make them readable during the winter months, the legislation has proven difficult for some motorists because it is also unlawful to clean the car somewhere other than your house or the car wash.

France
Drivers in France are now compelled to have an unopened breathalyzer kit in the vehicle all the time, according to surveys. This is supposed to reduce drunken driving cases while reducing government expenditures due to traffic stops. We're interested in what types of penalties are imposed for owning a heavily utilized breathalyzer.
Spain
Anyone who needs vision-correcting spectacles to drive in the lands of Spain must maintain a decent pair in the car every time, just if one set gets lost or one falls out. The rule is a national regulation, and it is up to the police officer's judgment whether or not the motorist receives a ticket.
Cyprus
The final bizarre law on this list is in Cyprus' Mediterranean island, where drivers who unnecessarily raise their hands from their steering wheel may experience serious fines. Crashes or accidents have become frequent in recent years, and it's illegal to drink or eat anything when driving on this island!
So, these are the craziest traffic laws and regulations in ten different countries around the world.
