New Year, New Laws

On 1 January new laws will go into effect across the nation. A few highlights from this new year’s legislative changes:

• Illinois has made it illegal to drive in the left lane of the interstate for more than half a mile.
• New Mexican’s now have to go to the dentist to have their tongues split. Before tatoo parlors could perform the procedure.
• Remarkably old people (those over 80) in Florida now have to pass a vision exam each year to get their license renewed.
