Bizarre or lesser-known driving regulations worldwide

Writer: Habib Ullah AshrafHabib Ullah Ashraf

No Eating or Drinking While Driving – Cyprus

In Cyprus, drivers are prohibited from eating any meals or drink, such as water, whilst operating a vehicle. This law aims to limit distractions and make certain drivers keep full control in their vehicles always. Even a quick sip of water can lead to fines, encouraging drivers to take breaks rather than multitasking on the street.

Driving Naked – Germany

Germany allows drivers to operate cars with out garb, as the car is considered a private area. However, this freedom ends whilst stepping out of the automobile, as public nudity stays illegal. This specific regulation highlights the distinction among private and public areas in German traffic rules.

Checking for Children Under the Car – Denmark

Danish drivers are legally required to check beneath their cars before beginning the engine. This law is designed to prevent accidents related to youngsters who might be playing or hiding underneath cars. It reflects Denmark’s strong emphasis on child safety and precautionary measures in residential areas.

No car wash on Sunday - Switzerland

In Switzerland, it is forbidden to wash the car on Sunday, as the day is traditionally reserved for comfort. This regulation is in accordance with the country's cultural emphasis on maintaining a peaceful and quiet atmosphere on Sunday, and is even expanded to maintenance activities.
