8. The Right Hand Rule in England
In England, if a driver finds themselves in need of a restroom and can’t find one, there is an interesting legal workaround. The driver is permitted to relieve themselves on the roadside, provided they follow a specific ritual: they must go to the rear of their car and place their right hand on it. This quirky rule likely hails from older times when public restrooms were scarce, and it allowed drivers a dignified way to handle urgent needs without legal repercussions. The rule is more a nod to historical legal traditions than a practical guideline in modern-day England.
