Every year, Canadians take a trip across the border to the United States. Although there are various reasons Canadians like to travel south, one of them is familiarity. Of all the countries in the world, the US is one that is possibly the most similar to Canada. We share the same language and have similar geography and culture. There are many comparison points – that is, until you start comparing the laws.
There are a number of peculiar laws across the United States that make certain actions illegal, and many of them wouldn’t even cross the mind of the average Canadian traveller.
Reader’s Digest recently put together a list of strange laws in the US. Here are some of them:
These wacky laws are a great reminder to always research the location you will be travelling to, even if you will be in a familiar country like the US. The last thing you want is to find yourself in legal trouble for breaking a weird law that you were unaware of. When you plan your next trip, make sure that you review the laws of the state and city you will be visiting. A few minutes of research time could save you from an unexpected legal issue.
The other thing you should research before travelling is your travel insurance coverage options.
