10. Canine Safety
In one Alaskan city — it’s a big one, too — there is actually a law on the books prohibiting people from tying their dogs to the roof of their car. Which means, that at one point, someone actually tried to drive around a major(ish) American city with a freaking dog tied to their roof, and they got away with it because their weren’t offical laws on the books.
11. Bonus Points!
One Alaskan town law states, “Development which is designed and sited on land in such a way as to preserve scenic vistas visible from public places may be awarded bonus points.” Sweet! As soon as you figure out exactly what those count for, please fill me in.
12. The Anti-Clown Rule
On paper, the rule which prohibits having more than three people in the front seat seems like a good idea. After all, why inhibit the driver from performing his or her duties. Good, that is, until you consider the irreparable impact this rule has on Alaska’s clowns. It’s destruction of art, people! Assuming clowning was art and not just very creepy.
