World’s Most Bizarre Laws


From needing permission to reincarnate ... to the world’s most expensive speeding tickets …. Here are 28 of the world's most bizarre laws!



#28 No Yellow Margarine
This law has been on Missouri’s books since the 19th century. Agriculture experts say that the odd law was likely passed as a way to protect the dairy industry, which was a major force in Missouri in the early part of the 20th century. There’s no record of anyone being prosecuted for violating the law in the past century. Should an offender be caught, they could spend 6 months in jail.




#27 Litterbug Law
Carelessly dropping trash on the ground in Singapore will cost you. Fines of $1,000 are stipulated by this law that was instituted in 1968 in an effort to keep the country clean. Besides the hefty fine, violators are often obliged to perform some community labor. Repeat offenders can be shamed by having to wear a sign that states, “I Am a Litterbug”.



#26 Leave the Lights On
Drivers in Denmark are required by law to drive their vehicles with the headlights on. If you don’t it’s a fine of around $100. Interesting to note that the law doesn’t apply to night driving. According to several studies, the practice has led to fewer road fatalities in the country.







#25 Pedal Pushing
In Mexico, bicyclists are not allowed to lift their feet from the pedals. Doing so could result in losing control of the bike … which is the reason behind this law that was instituted in 1892, in order to protect riders. Doesn't say anything about no hands, though.




#24 Canadian Currency
According to that country’s Currency Act of 1985, it’s unlawful for consumers to use unreasonable amounts of coins to pay for their purchases. That means you cannot use all coins, especially if the bill is more than $10. That includes the dollar coins as well. It’s up to the proprietor if they want to take your coins, but they’re not obliged to do so.




#23 Autobahn Rules
Did you know that (depending on the vehicle) there is no mandated speed limit on Germany’s Autobahn? Speeds of at least 80 mph (129 km/h) are generally advised, though. Given that, it makes sense that walking along the Autobahn is illegal. So is running out of gas. Should a breakdown occur, the driver must find a way to pull over and attract attention by using their horn. Penalties can exceed $100 US dollars.



#22 No Dying, Please
Did you know that in England, it’s against the law to die in the Houses of Parliament? In 2007, this was voted the most ludicrous law in the UK. The House of Commons is on record as saying there is no basis for it.





#21 No Pets Allowed
If you live in Alaska and you want to take your pet to the beauty salon, you’re out of luck. A state law prohibits your animal friend from joining you at the salon or barbershop. And that goes for restaurants as well. Well, it is Alaska so maybe it’s a way of ensuring that no one brings their pet moose along.
