世界十大奇葩驾驶法规

Whether due to antiquated laws that never got updated, or logistic challenges unique to that country, the world is full of strange laws. Some may not sound outlandish in concept, but have extreme consequences; for example, if you’re in Vietnam without a Vietnamese driver’s license, you risk a prison sentence of up to three years. Others—like banning the practice of tying your pet on the roof in Alaska—seem to be the result of an overzealous legal system.

也许是因为过时的法律没有及时更新，也许是因为某个国家面临着与众不同的挑战，这个世界上总是充满了奇奇怪怪的法律法规。有一些在概念上听起来也许并不奇怪，但却有着很极端的后果。比如，如果你在越南而没有越南的驾驶证，你就会有被判处三年有期徒刑的风险。其他的——比如阿拉斯加规定，禁止将宠物栓在车顶——看起来是出自于一个过度热情的法律体系。

No dirty cars, or car washes on the street

1.If your car is dirty enough to pen dust art, in Moscow it’s liable for a fine of 2000 rubles (about $55). Although enacted in part to prevent muddied and obscured license plates, it’s up to the officers to make the call. Worse yet, it’s illegal to wash your car by hand on public property for ecological reasons—forcing you to take it to one of the few car wash facilities.

1. 在莫斯科，如果你的车脏到可以在上面画沙画，你将被罚款2000卢布（约55美元）。尽管这条规定在某种程度上为了防止泥土遮盖拍照，但是否触犯法规取决于警官。更要命的是，出于保护生态的原因，在公共场所里人工洗车是违法的——这等于是强迫你把车开到洗车中心用设备洗车，然而，在莫斯科，这样的洗车设备屈指可数。

2.Drivers male or female in Thailand can’t drive shirtless, whether it’s a car, bus, or a tuk-tuk cab.

2. 在泰国，无论男女，都不能光膀子驾驶。无论你驾驶的是汽车，公交车，或者嘟嘟车（类似于机动三轮车）。

3.No brown-bagging needed while driving in Costa Rica—it’s legal to drink and drive, so long as your blood alcohol level is lower than 0.05% The country also prohibits blasting loud music near churches, hospitals and schools.

3. 在哥斯达黎加，在驾驶时你完全不会用到棕色食品袋——因为边喝酒边驾车是合法的，只要你保证你的血液酒精浓度低于0.05%。此外，该国还禁止在教堂，医院和学校附近大声放音乐。

4.On the other end of extreme, France requires its drivers to carry a portable breathalyzer at all times when driving a car. The one-time kits cost around $5, and if you don’t have one the fine is a paltry 11 euros ($15)—but the law is seldom enforced.

4. 另一个极端情况，法国要求驾驶员在驾驶时随时携带便携式酒精测定仪。这样的一次性设备大约要5美元，如果你没有携带，罚款仅为11欧元（15美元）——但是这条法律很少被执行。

5.Never mind obscene gestures--even raising your hands in a bout of road rage in Cyprus can get you fined for 25 euros, or about $35. The law states a driver can be fined if the person “is in an irregular position inside the vehicle or raises his hand from the steering wheel unnecessarily.”

5. 在塞浦路斯，你永远不用担心会碰到什么下流的动作——因为即使你因为道路上的一些火气把手上举，你都会被罚款25欧元，约合35美元。法律规定，如果司机在车里做出不常见的姿势或者在不必要的时候将手离开方向盘，都要被罚款。
