Strange laws

Each country has a set of laws to keep people safe and to prevent crime. For example, each country states which side of the road you have to drive on. In the USA, you drive on the right, and in Australia you drive on the left. It would be crazy if in any country you could drive on both sides of the road. There would be thousands of accidents!

However, in many countries there are also a lot of laws that seem a little strange and don’t make sense. For example, in Utah in the USA, you can’t hunt whales. But the police shouldn’t worry too much, as Utah is more than 800 kilometers from the ocean! Who created this law and why?

Some of the funniest laws are to do with driving. In Denmark, you can’t start your car if a child is underneath it. So, you should always look under your car and check before you drive. If you’re a pedestrian in Beijing, then you had better be very careful because it’s illegal for drivers to stop for pedestrians who are crossing the street. But the funniest law to do with driving is in Alaska. In Alaska, it’s illegal to drive with a dog tied to the roof of your car! This must be the craziest law in the world!

In Thailand, you can’t step on money – it’s illegal. So, if you see money on the ground, you have to walk around it. I don’t know if you’re allowed to pick it up and put it in your pocket! In Switzerland you can’t flush your toilet after 10 p.m. because it is too noisy. But in Singapore, you must always flush the toilet after you use it, even if it’s late at night, and you can be fined $500 if you don’t. So people who travel a lot should be very careful to remember which country they are in.


In Australia, you have to drive on the right side of the road.
