One of the most exciting things about traveling is discovering new local cultures and customs. Below are some of the world's strangest driving laws that you can learn about to avoid getting into trouble while traveling.

Do not drive with your eyes covered.

Laws in Alabama (USA) prohibit drivers from driving with their eyes covered. Furthermore, no one is allowed to drive with a person or object in the front seat obstructing the driver's view of the road ahead or to the sides.

Do not drive shirtless.

According to Thai law, driving without a shirt is a violation for both men and women. Therefore, the advice is not to let the tropical heat make you act impulsively by taking off your shirt to cool down while driving. If caught by the police, the fine will be around $10 USD.

Make sure no children are sleeping under the car before driving away.

In Denmark, there's a strange law designed to protect someone working under a car from being accidentally driven away by someone else.

To avoid fines, drivers must check under their vehicles to ensure they haven't run over anyone before driving away, including mechanics and children playing hide-and-seek.

The police estimate the speed of the vehicle to issue a traffic ticket.

Austrian police officers estimate the speed to issue speeding tickets.

In Austria, in areas with a speed limit below 30 km/h, traffic police are allowed to estimate a vehicle's speed themselves. This means drivers may receive a speeding ticket even if there are no speed cameras in the area. Depending on the police's assessment, drivers may receive a ticket even if they are driving below the speed limit.

A car that is too dirty will be fined.

Police in Moscow have the right to stop and fine drivers if their cars are too dirty. But what constitutes "dirty"? A Russian newspaper once conducted a survey, and 46% of readers agreed that it's when the numbers on the license plate are illegible.

Driving black cars on Sundays is prohibited.

In Denver, USA, the law prohibits black cars from driving on Sundays. This bizarre rule is believed to have originated in the 1950s, when the then mayor of Denver passed the law, arguing that black was associated with death and negativity, while Sunday was God's Day and therefore black should not be associated with it.

It is prohibited to run out of gas while driving on the Autobahn.

If a driver has to stop in the middle of a German highway because their car runs out of gas, the fine can range from $34 to $78. The reason for this law is that running out of fuel is entirely preventable and is considered a subjective error that deserves a penalty.

The car is not full of fuel.

For safety reasons, drivers in Croatia are prohibited from driving cars with a full fuel tank. In addition, the Croatian government requires drivers to carry a pair of spare headlights in their vehicles. This regulation also applies in the Czech Republic.

Cars must have windshield wipers, even though they don't have a windshield.

Every car in Luxembourg must have windshield wipers, even if it doesn't have a windshield.

Drivers are not allowed to eat or drink while driving.

In Cyprus, eating and drinking, including drinking water, while driving is prohibited. Violators face a fine of $95 and a deduction of 2-4 points from their driver's license.

Police check drivers for alcohol by smelling their breath.

Police in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, are resorting to a manual method of smelling the breath of suspected drivers to determine if someone has been drinking and driving. This method is being used because breathalyzers are scarce and blood tests are unavailable.

Therefore, the police will simply stop the vehicle and talk to the driver or motorcyclist. If they suspect alcohol is present, the police will determine the appropriate fine.

If you want to wear a bikini while driving, you'll have to bring a weapon.

To defend themselves, girls are forced to carry weapons while driving in bikinis in Kentucky.

In the US, each state has its own regulations and laws, for example, Kentucky. When visiting Kentucky, if you want to wear a bikini and drive a car, you must carry a weapon for self-defense. If you don't have a weapon, you must be accompanied by two police officers.

Fasten your dog's safety harness.

Even dogs must be strapped into a safety harness.

In Italy, drivers who want to bring their dogs along in their cars must harness their four-legged companions. Meanwhile, in Germany, dogs and other pets are treated as cargo. The German government does not have safety laws for transporting pets such as seat belts. However, drivers must ensure that their pets do not slip or fall out of the vehicle.

Transporting gorillas in a car.

Drivers are allowed to transport gorillas in their cars in Massachusetts.

Allowing gorillas in cars is another bizarre traffic law in the US, specifically in Massachusetts. However, Americans can only carry gorillas in the passenger seat to avoid a fine. You will receive a ticket if you carry a gorilla in the back seat of your car.

Make way for camels.

Cars must also give way to camels. (Illustrative image)

In the United Arab Emirates, camels are a very common means of transportation. Furthermore, camels are given priority on the roads. Therefore, in the United Arab Emirates, car drivers must yield to camels.

Parking bicycles behind cars is prohibited.

Parking a bicycle like this will result in a fine in Portugal.

In Portugal, you'll get a ticket for carrying a bicycle on the back of a car. So, goodbye to your dream of cycling with your loved one in the suburbs!

Tourists are not allowed to drive cars on their own.

A peculiar traffic law in China is that foreign tourists are not allowed to drive themselves; visitors to China must use public transportation, taxis, or hire a car with a private driver.
