5 of the Strangest Driving Laws Around the World

3. New South Wales

The rules surrounding splashing pedestrians in New South Wales are about as clear as mud. According to Regulation 291-3 drivers must take due care not to splash mud on any person in or on, or, indeed, waiting for a bus. The rules make no mention of regular pedestrians, so drivers are free to splash away at those. The listed maximum penalty is 20 units which equates to a fine of around £1,255.

4. Russia

If you’re driving in Russia, you better clean up your act, drivers with dirty cars can face fines of up to £25, especially if there is mud on the license plate.

5. United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, it pays to keep quiet; it is illegal to honk your car horn in residential areas between the hours of 11:30 pm and 7:00 am unless another road user poses a danger. Night-time impatience could cost you £100 — so keep it down.
