Buckle Up for Bizarre: America's Craziest Car Laws
We love cars. We love selling them, buying them, and most importantly, helping you find the perfect vehicle for your needs. But even we have to admit, sometimes the laws surrounding cars can be a little... strange.
So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride as we explore some of the craziest car laws in the United States:
Alabama: Feeling adventurous? Well, don't even think about driving blindfolded in the "Heart of Dixie." This one seems like a no-brainer, but hey, you never know!
Alaska: While you're at it, leave your furry friend safe and sound at home when exploring Alaska's breathtaking landscapes. Tying your dog to the roof of your car is a big no-no here.
Arizona: Feeling the heat and need to reverse out of that crowded parking lot? Think again in Arizona, where driving in reverse on a public road is strictly prohibited. Maybe this is their way of encouraging parallel parking skills?
Arkansas: Got a late-night craving? Be mindful of the time in Arkansas. Honking your car horn after 9 pm near a place serving cold drinks or sandwiches is a surefire way to get a noise violation.
California: This one's for the fashionistas: ditch the housecoat while driving in California. Though rarely enforced, this law raises an eyebrow on the practicality scale.
Colorado: Feeling fancy in your black car? Save your cruising for weekdays in Denver, where driving a black car on Sundays is against the law. We're not sure what the reasoning is, but hey, maybe it's just bad luck for black cars on Sundays
Delaware: Need a quick outfit change before that important meeting? Not in your car if you're in Delaware. Public indecency laws extend to your vehicle, so keep those wardrobe changes discreet.
Florida: Known for its quirky laws, Florida takes the cake with this one. If you ever find yourself tying an elephant, goat, or alligator to a parking meter, remember, by law, you're responsible for feeding the meter!
Georgia: We get it, sometimes you just gotta spit. But in Georgia, think twice before doing it from a car or bus. Apparently, it's perfectly fine to do it from a truck, though. Don't ask us why.
Hawaii: Flashing your hazard lights might seem like the universal sign for "trouble ahead," but not in Hawaii. Using hazard lights while your vehicle is in motion is illegal there. So, how do you warn other drivers you need to pull over? We're not sure, but maybe a good old fashioned hand signal is the way to go!
These are just a few examples of the many strange and unusual car laws out there. While some are more humorous than others, it's always a good idea to be familiar with the laws in your area to avoid any unwanted surprises on your next road trip.
In the meantime. when you're in the market for a new car, call or stop by and we'll do our best to find the perfect one for you.
