Here is a collection of some of the eccentric(古怪的)laws in the world. We can laugh , we can gasp, we can only wonder……
1. Think before you chew
In Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. This rule was introduced because of the high cost and difficulty in removing stuck chewing gum from public premises. In particular, chewing gum stuck on the Mass Rapid Transit train doors stopped the train from moving. It happened a few times and those were a few times too many.
2. Lighten up
Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on. You’d think this law would apply to night driving but it doesn’t . It is considered essential during the day as well or they may face a fine of up to ﹩100.Studies have shown that this has helped a lot to avoid road accidents in Denmark.
3. To fail﹥to jail
In Bangladeshi, children 15 and older can be put in jail for cheating on their final examinations. Every year, Bangladeshi government takes strong measures to stop cheating and carries out a massive media campaign to forewarn students through print and television.
4.Sue(控告) them pants!
In France, it is still against the law for women to wear pants. The law reportedly has been on the books since 1800. It was amended several times: once in 1892 to allow women to sport trousers while riding horses and again in 1909 to permit the ladies to wear pants while on bicycles.
5. The law with a flaw
In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped, modified, or altered in such a way as to cause the pedal in its lowermost position to be more than 12 inches above the ground, nor shall any bicycle be operated if so equipped . The question is :Who would ride such a bike?
6. One Two Three Go!
In Massachusetts at a wake(守丧),mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches. It is one of those laws that was written in books and never removed since then. Bad manners, one might consider it, but in Massachusetts it is a criminal offense.
