Massachusetts is home to a long list of strange and antiquated laws. Everything from growing goatees to singing the national anthem and even the act of mowing your law has some weird guidelines in the Commonwealth.
One of the most regulated aspects of life for Massachusetts residents is driving. Massachusetts has some of the most stringent laws regarding roadways and regulates everything from who can drive when they can drive, what they can drive, and how they can modify their vehicles. Now all of these laws are of course in place for people’s safety but compared to some other states that let you put basically anything with wheels on the road, it can seem overbearing at times.
There is perhaps no more significant rule of the road than the speed limit. While again, it is there for people’s safety, pretty much everyone at one point or another has violated that limit, even if by just a few miles per hour. There is no worse feeling than driving down the road, over the speed limit, and you come around the corner to see a police officer and fly right past them. Did you ever think to yourself, crap, I didn’t even see them!…
