Stupid State Laws - California 2

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

California

"No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles."

I guess the big question is - how exactly does a vehicle exceed 60 miles per hour without a driver?  The answer, I honestly don't know.  If I had to take a stab at how this law came into existence, some lame lawmaker was at Disneyland and got too scared on how fast his ride was on Space Mountain and came up with a brilliant idea on how to slow it down so that he could ride it and no longer be such a wuss.  Seriously, how often do you see a 'vehicle' go 60 miles per hour without a driver?  Never.  This law really is stupid.  What the fuck, California?  Where did you come up with this one because I really am stumped other than my Space Mountain scenario.

"Well rookie, it looks good to me, this vehicle went 88 miles per hour, but it did have a driver."
"But Sarge, the driver was a dog, that can't be legal."
"Damn it rookie, don't you know anything!  The law says 'driver' and that dog is clearly driving, there is nothing wrong with that."
