3. France, England. Here is forbidden to kiss at the railway station.
According to the people who know a lot about the lofty emotions romance has died in France in 1910 at the railway station. Since then, public kisses are prohibited on platforms of the railway stations of France. The British could not resist this enticing law and created its own limit on kisses in the town of Warrington at the Virgin Trains station. The justification of this mysterious law is prosaic - it is designed to prevent the delay of trains. However, it remains completely unclear why friendly and gentle hugs and warm handshakes are not prohibited?

2. Thailand. Do not drive a vehicle without a shirt.

Oh, what a pleasure to throw a wet shirt away and with the opened window of your car drive during the viscous tropical heat of Thai Noon. However, according to the law driving in Thailand is prohibited, if you are stripped to the waist and you may be punished by a fine in an amount of $ 10. However, the harsh laws of Thai roads still loose the intricate laws of American pushovers, who prohibited driving a car blindfolded and barefoot, and the car without a driver can’t move with speed exceeding 60 miles per hour. People wonder how in the latter case a car will be punished.

1. Singapore. You are forbidden to chew a gum.
A variety of actions violating the aesthetics of the city, like dropping litter, feeding birds, spitting on the sidewalk, a habit not to flash the public toilets or use of chewing gum can lead you into serious trouble with the law of Singapore. Chewing gum is strictly prohibited to import, sale and use in Singapore since 1992 and violation of the law is severely punished not only with the huge fines, but also with the community service. So, the breakers of law for the first time can say goodbye to the amount of 500 to 1000 U.S. dollars. In the case of the second offender of law can be fined up to $ 2000 and brought to public works. It should be noted that public works in Singapore is a quite specific phenomenon and suggests that the offender not only cleans public places, but also does it under the watchful eye of local media in a very special colored clothing attracting public attention to the committed crime.
