Bizarre traffic rules in other countries!

Indian roads work on the a theory Darwin proposed in the 17th century -- survival of the fittest. And it's true: the bigger your car, the faster you drive, the more swear words your vocabulary is blessed with, the better chances you have of getting where you want to get.

And you've probably heard someone from abroad complain about the streets of India being a jungle, and though it may be true, the rules that govern some roads abroad are equally bizarre!

Let's take a look at some of them...

Don't yell or curse!

Well, if this applied in India, there would be a half a billion people in jail. Luckily, this law exists all the way in Rockville, Maryland where it's illegal to curse in public, else you could be asked to pay a fine up to $100 (Rs.5,800) or even be booked in jail for 90 days.

A dirty car?

There's no tolerance for being too lazy to wash your car in Russia, unless you don't mind being fined upto 2,000 roubles (Rs.3,400).

Your number plate can't end with 2 or 1 if you want to face Mondays

In Manila, you cannot drive your car on Monday if the plate ends with 1 or 2. What about the 8022 (spells BOSS) people around here would pay anything for? I guess it means they can avoid dreary Mondays. Boss, indeed.

Women cannot drive

Saudi Arabia doesn't allow women to drive, and is the only country to do so!

Carry an extra pair of glasses

This isn't that bizarre if you do know the hassles of wearing glasses, because your entire vision can be ruined by a tiny finger print at the corner of your drame. In Spain, you need to have an extra pair of glasses if they've been prescribed to you, else you can be fined.

Don't ever ever ever turn your headlights off!

In Sweden's winters, it's probably necessary to have your lights all the time because the winters barely see the sun, but why not in June when everything is bright and sunny? Maybe it's better to be safe than sorry.

Do NOT wipe your car in a car wash with a used underwear!

Okay, I guess we'll have to take the clean ones out in San Fransisco, California...

Wearing a shirt is mandatory while driving

Or be fined a few hunded baht in Thailand. No topless drivers to see here, please move on.

Don't sit in the front seat if you're drunk

Macedonia takes it laws about driving under influence seriously; so seriously that you can't even sit in the front seat of a car.

If your driver is drunk, you're in trouble too!

In Japan, being a sober passenger isn't enough -- you have to be a responsible citizen. If you're in a car being driven by a drunk driver, you can be punished by law!
