雙語(yǔ)閱讀：看看外媒盤(pán)點(diǎn)的十大奇葩駕駛法規(guī)

羅漢小果1

One of the most exciting things about travelling abroad is discovering new customs, but tourists need to be careful so not to run afoul of local laws. While laws against serious crimes are consistent around the world, some countries have bizarre or obscure rules outlawing behaviour that is perfectly acceptable at home.

出國(guó)旅行最讓人興奮的事情之一,，就是發(fā)現(xiàn)新的習(xí)俗，但游客需小心謹(jǐn)慎,，以免違反當(dāng)?shù)胤�律法�?guī),。處決重大犯罪的法律在全世界都是差不多的,；然而,，在本國(guó)完全合法的行為，到了某些國(guó)家,，一些奇特,、模糊的法律法規(guī)就會(huì)將其視為違法。

These are 10 driving laws that holidaymakers should be aware of if they're planning to explore a country by car this summer (although the odds of them being enforced may be next to nothing).

以下列舉了10條奇葩駕駛法規(guī),，這個(gè)夏天想要出國(guó)自駕游的朋友們要注意了（雖然違反這些法規(guī)的可能性微乎其微）,。

Wearing a bikini? Carry a weapon

穿比基尼必須攜帶武器

Kentucky is a landlocked state in the US, but it has its share of beaches and public swimming pools. Women are allowed to wear a swimsuit while driving, but only if they are carrying a weapon for self-defence. Failing that, they must be accompanied by two police officers, according to travel search website Kayak.co.uk.

肯塔基雖是美國(guó)的內(nèi)陸州，但還是有海灘和公共游泳池,。女性可以身著泳衣開(kāi)車(chē),，但前提是必須隨身攜帶武器用以自衛(wèi)。旅游搜索網(wǎng)站Kayak.co.uk表示,， 如果這一點(diǎn)做不到的話,，她們必須在兩名警察的陪同下方可穿泳衣駕車(chē)。

No clothes, no problem

赤身裸體也沒(méi)關(guān)系

Those who enjoy feeling the wind in their hair may want to head to Germany, where a car counts as a 'private space'. That means nude driving is permitted by law. However, a driver runs the risk of losing their insurance coverage if he or she is involved in a crash while driving barefoot.

喜歡風(fēng)在頭頂呼嘯而過(guò)的的人們也許想前往德國(guó),，因?yàn)槠��?chē)在那兒算是“私人空間”,。這就意味著人們可以裸體駕車(chē)。然而,，如果在赤腳駕車(chē)的情況下出了車(chē)禍?zhǔn)遣挥枥碣r的,，所以想要裸體駕車(chē)的人要承擔(dān)一定的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

Hold on when nature calls

內(nèi)急也要忍住

Drivers in England who can't make it to the next service station when they need to use the loo can relieve themselves at the roadside without penalty. But there's a catch. They can only urinate on the side of the road if they are beside the car's rear tyre and have their right hand touching the car.

在英國(guó),，要是等不及到下一個(gè)服務(wù)站上廁所,，駕駛員在路邊自行解決也不會(huì)被罰款。但是,，注意了,，這兒有個(gè)陷阱。只有當(dāng)駕駛員站在車(chē)的后輪旁邊,，并用右手按著車(chē),，這樣才能在路邊撒尿。

Gorillas in the passenger seat

副駕駛座位上的大猩猩

Another quirky traffic law in the US comes from the state of Massachusetts, where gorillas are allowed to travel in a car. However, they can only ride in the passenger seat. Drivers face a fine if they allow a gorilla to ride in the backseat.

美國(guó)馬薩諸塞州還有一個(gè)奇葩的交通規(guī)則,，當(dāng)?shù)卦试S大猩猩坐車(chē)出行,。但是，它們只能坐在副駕駛座位上,。如果司機(jī)讓大猩猩坐在汽車(chē)后座就會(huì)受到罰款,。

Buckle up your pup

給狗狗系安全帶

Drivers who take their dog on a road trip in Italy are required to fasten their canine companion's seatbelt. In Germany, dogs and other pets are considered cargo. While there is no safety belt rule, pets must be protected against slipping and falling in the vehicle.

在意大利旅行,，帶狗開(kāi)車(chē)的司機(jī)務(wù)必給狗狗系安全帶。在德國(guó),，狗狗等寵物被認(rèn)為是貨物,。雖然沒(méi)有相關(guān)的安全帶規(guī)則，但是必須采取保護(hù)措施,，以防車(chē)內(nèi)寵物滑墜,。

Yield for camels

避讓駱駝

Camels are a common sight in the United Arab Emirates and they have priority when they are out on the roads. They are always given the right of way in thoroughfares.

駱駝在阿聯(lián)酋很常見(jiàn)，它們?cè)隈R路上享有優(yōu)先通過(guò)權(quán),。在大馬路上,，人們總是把右邊的路讓給它們。

Insurance against nature

自然災(zāi)害險(xiǎn)

With volcanoes and hot springs, Iceland is a popular country for a road trip. But half of the island is only accessible by four-wheel drive and the weather can be unpredictable. Local car hire agencies recommend taking out insurance for potential damage from volcanic ash or extreme wind.

火山和溫泉使冰島成為自駕游的熱門(mén)國(guó)家,。但是冰島只有一半的地區(qū)允許四輪車(chē)進(jìn)入,，而且那里的天氣也變化多端。當(dāng)?shù)刈廛?chē)中介會(huì)推薦游客購(gòu)買(mǎi)用于理賠火山灰或極端大風(fēng)造成損失的保險(xiǎn),。

Top up your tank

加滿油

For safety reasons, drivers in Croatia are prohibited from having a full petrol can in the car. A spare set of headlight bulbs is a legal requirement. The same law applies in the Czech Republic.

出于安全考慮,，克羅地亞禁止司機(jī)將車(chē)加滿油。法律規(guī)定必須隨車(chē)攜帶備用的前照燈燈泡,。同樣的法規(guī)也在捷克共和國(guó)適用,。

Speeding tickets in Austria

澳大利亞的超速罰單

In speed zones of 30km/h or less, traffic police in Austria use their own judgment to estimate the speed of a car. Their 'trained speeding eye' means drivers may be at risk of a speeding ticket even if there is no speed camera in sight. Depending on the officer's guess, the driver may receive a ticket even if they are travelling under the posted limit.

在限速30公里/小時(shí)的區(qū)域，澳大利亞的交警會(huì)根據(jù)他們自己的判斷估計(jì)車(chē)速,。鑒于交警“訓(xùn)練有素的測(cè)速眼”,，即使周?chē)鷽](méi)有測(cè)速相機(jī)，司機(jī)也可能會(huì)被開(kāi)超速罰單,。根據(jù)交警的估測(cè),，司機(jī)在規(guī)定的速度內(nèi)行駛也有可能收到罰單。
