In Sweden, it is necessary to keep your headlights on 24 hours a day. We understand that it is
required for places as cold as Sweden during winter, but you cannot turn off your car’s lights even
if it is June and the weather looks just fine.
If you are driving in Beijing and you come across a zebra crossing, don’t stop or even try to
slow down because this will get you in trouble with the law.
In Thailand, it is compulsory to wear a shirt while driving. Women who go topless while
driving can be fined equal to a few hundred baht.
In Cyprus, you should keep both hands on the wheel. Drivers who unnecessarily raise a hand
from the steering wheel can get fines, although we think that making some gestures at bad drivers is
sometimes good.
Don’t yell or curse while you are driving in Rockville, Maryland, USA although you are right.
It is illegal to curse in public. You have to pay a fine up to $100 or go to prison up to 10 days.
Before you drive off with a car in Denmark, you must check that the children in your car have
the best places. Maybe the reason is that they can read books by Hans Anderson.
Drinking and driving is illegal in Spain, but in Macedonia, if you are drunk, you cannot sit in
the front seats.
