Wild U.S. Traffic Laws That Make No Sense At All

Nobody wants to run out of gas. But finding yourself in that headache of a situation while in Youngstown, Ohio could land you in serious trouble! Unbelievably, in this midwestern town, it's illegal for your car to run out of gas, meaning that the 60,000 people who live there better ensure they save enough fuel for their next trip to the gas station.

While often the sound of expressing road rage, the function of a car horn is actually to get both human and animal attention, especially to avoid impending collisions. Though that doesn't seem to be a priority in the town of Oxford, Mississippi. No, their biggest concern is the local horse population, as seen by their decision to outlaw car horns so as not to disturb the delicate creatures. So far, local officials have offered no other horn-honking alternatives.

Of all the components that make up a car, the importance of a steering wheel is blatantly obvious. After all, how on earth are you going to turn without one? Still, this didn't stop the adoption of the law that one cannot drive a car without a steering wheel. While a peculiar rule, what's even more interesting is what led lawmakers to feel the need to pass this statute in the first place.

While behind the wheel, dedicating all focus to operating the vehicle is paramount. After all, one wrong move could be the difference between life and death. So it makes sense that no one should read a book while driving, but Oklahoma put its own spin on this concept and it's raising eyebrows. The Sooner State made it illegal to read comic books while driving, however, there's no restriction on other reading material. Is there something inherently worse about comics that we're missing?
