The Most Absurd Traffic Laws

7. The vehicle and the force of nature
When you visit Iceland, be prepared for the capricious force of Mother Nature. National regulations require that the vehicle is covered against events that are atypical for us, such as volcanic ash and strong winds. Some parts of Iceland require a four-wheel drive vehicle due to their topography.

6. Dog seat belts
If you are traveling to Italy with a four-legged companion, keep in mind that the dog must be buckled. Since the dog is considered a "transporter" in Germany it must be protected from falls.

5. The inability to operate a vehicle without a valid local driver's license
Drivers with an international driving license must apply for a local driving permit in China. You must first apply for a special permit and be authorized to do so, which requires passing a local traffic law test. Due to the long and difficult process, many people rent a car with a driver.
