I have one to add to it.
Still on the books in Indiana from the 1800's is a law that states.
When you pass a vechile of the road, you must stop and take apart your vechile to let the other vechile pass. Or you face a $500. fine.

I guess it was meant for horse and carriage time, but it states something to the affect that I just wrote. I guess the roads were so narrow, that you had to do this, so you could get to where you were needing to go.

There are many more strange and stupid laws on the books all across America.
