Just started this for fun --go to site of your state and have a laugh

The driver of an overtaking motor vehicle not within a business or residence district shall give audible warning with his horn or other warning device before passing or attempting to pass a vehicle proceeding in the same direction.

Do this and you will probably be chased down and beaten...

Check your state and list the dumbest one---

Well, I've read about the unusual laws in the states, but I don't recall all of them right now, as I'll state this international one -

It is actually illegal to name a pig "Napoleon" in France.

Babies may not be carried on the running boards of a car. And to avoid a one liner, Dishes must drip dry.

My state has a couple of interesting ones:

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.

Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass.

This one is amusing, but a woman was nailed for this one in the Allentown, PA area after the local newspaper (The Morning Call) ran a story at Easter time a couple of years ago; which showcased her business. If they hadn't run the story, I'm sure she'd still be selling dyed baby chicks at Easter. She did it for years.

I tried to do a search for the archived articles, but was unsuccessful.

A few: This is a great site, thanks.
