Washington
"All motor vehicles must be preceded by a man carrying a red flag (daytime) or a red lantern (nighttime) fifty feet in front of said vehicle."
I feel like this law totally defeats the purpose of owning a car. How does anyone get around if some dude has to walk in front of his car at all times with a flag or lantern in his hands? You wouldn't get anywhere. On top of that, this seems to be a really sexist law. A "man" is the one who has to do the carrying, why not women? Are they too weak to carry a flag? Are only men allowed to drive in Washington? Wait, that last question sounds like a pretty good idea. Now, if only we could actually get people to stop talking on their cell phones while driving, the roads would be a safer place for all. Keep up the good work, Washington.
