Driving Georgia

It is unlawful to drive a vehicle while blindfolded.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

It seems obvious that you need your eyes to drive, but Georgia lawmakers felt the need to make it explicitly clear. This was reportedly passed after an influx of daredevil drivers in the mid-1900s tried to perform blindfolded driving stunts for county fairs and bets. The state stepped in to firmly outlaw sightless joyriding.
