interesting driving laws

I ran across this list the other day, and some of the laws listed were quite funny! Let's see how many of these would actually be a concern to you if it were a law in your state...

* In Mount Vernon, Iowa, you can't shoot arrows into the street without written permission from the town council.

* No parking in front of Dunkin Donuts in South Berwick, Maine, or you'll be ticketed.

* Officials in University City, Missouri, have made it illegal to honk the horn of someone else's car.

* In Scituate, Rhode Island, it's illegal to drive with beer in your vehicle - even if it's unopened. (So, how does one get it from the store to their home?)

* Arkansas authorities have deemed it illegal to blare a car horn where ice cold beverages or sandwiches are served after 9 p.m.

* It's against the law in Hermosa Beach, California, to spill your margarita on any street. (Hmmm... I wonder what drunk politician made that a law?!?)

* If you screech your tires while driving in Derby, Kansas, you can land up to 30 days in jail.

* In Alabama, it's illegal to drive while blindfolded.

* You can't plant a tree in the middle of the street in Blairstown, New Jersey, or you'll get in trouble.

* Rockville, Maryland, nails you with a misdemeanor if you're caught swearing from your vehicle.

What's scary is that it's illegal to drive blindfolded ONLY in Alabama!! I think that's a law the other states should have, too, no???
