Top 10 Weird Laws that Could Get You Fined

Having a Dirty Car in Dubai, UAE

You believe you have rented the car, and it is up to you whether or not you keep it clean. But not in Dubai, where the government believes that dirty cars will harm the city's image and pose a risk to public health. Vehicles that are dirty are towed away, and the owners are fined and charged impound fees of 3,000 AED ($817).

Picking up Olives before they Ripe in Istanbul, Turkey

The Turkish people adore olives. This is the reason for the rule. If you are found harvesting olives from the tree until they are ripe, you will be fined up to $500 and sentenced to up to two years in prison.

Sitting Down in Venice, Italy

With so many attractions nearby, we're sure your legs are aching and you'd like to sit down for a while. But, please, do not do this in Venice. Your simple action could cost you $588. The reason you ask is that the city is overrun with tourists, and the local government is working hard to keep things organized and hassle-free for both locals and visitors. Locate a café, take a seat, and order a coffee, tea, or the famous Italian gelato.

Collecting sand, pebbles, & shells in Sardinia, Italy

As a souvenir, you want to pick pebbles, shells, and a smidgeon of sand from the beach you're visiting. It's not a good idea to do it in Sardinia. You will be fined up to $3,482 if you are caught.

Removing pebbles from beaches in Cornwall, England

Cornwall's most visited attraction is the lovely Crackington Haven. However, taking stones from the beach exposes the beach to erosion. As a result, the local government has increased the fine for taking pebbles from beaches to $1,283.

Littering in Hong Kong

Littering is unacceptable anywhere in the world. However, the Hong Kong government has gone one step further and made it illegal to litter. Even throwing a candy wrapper in the street can cost you $1500.

Running out of gas on the Autobahn in Germany

This is one of the most well-known expressways, as well as one of the world's most dangerous roads. The speed limit is approximately 81 mph (and in some rural areas, there is no speed limit). As a result, if you run out of gas on this road, you could be fined up to $34 for stopping illegally.

Chewing gum in Singapore

It is illegal to bring chewing gum into Singapore. If you are caught with it, you could be fined $100,000. Chewing gum has been banned in Singapore because it was making the roads and sidewalks dirty and filthy.


In-appropriate clothes for hiking in the nude in the Alps of Switzerland


Hiking is at the top of every tourist's list when they visit Switzerland. However, not wearing appropriate clothing while hiking in Switzerland's pristine Alps is against the country's laws. You could face a fine of up to $100. So, if you're going to the Swiss Alps, make sure to bring your jackets and hiking boots.

Wearing Camouflage Clothes in the Caribbean

Do you adore your camouflage slacks? But don't bring it with you on your trip to the Caribbean. In many parts of the Caribbean, non-military personnel are not permitted to wear camouflage clothing or equipment. For wearing camouflage clothing or gear, you can be fined up to $3,700 or imprisoned for a year.

Do you read tweets, Facebook messages, or the instructions on your instant oatmeal packet on a daily basis? If you're one of the many people who don't make it a habit to read on a regular basis, you're missing out: reading has a slew of advantages, and only a few of them are listed below. 1.

Puzzles and games like chess have also been found to be beneficial in terms of cognitive enhancement. 2. Stress Reduction No matter how much tension you're under at...

  Filipinos deserve a leader who will defend the country’s sovereignty —Carpio Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio slammed President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday after the chief executive appeared to blame him and former Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for China's occupation of some West Philippine Sea features. On Wednesday night, Duterte used his weekly address to the nation to question Carpio and del Rosario about why the country "lost territory" in the West Philippine Sea during their tenure, particularly after the 2012 standoff between Philippine and Chinese vessels in the Scarborough Shoal. Carpio stated in a statement that he was not a member of the Executive Department, which determines foreign policy, in 2012. Carpio, a Supreme Court magistrate at the time, had recommended that China be taken to arbitration over its massive claims in the South China Sea, including areas Manila refers to as the West Philippine Sea. “In January 2013, the Aquin...
