It is illegal to wear a sleeveless shirt while operating a horse-drawn carriage.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

A forgotten statute required drivers to wear shirts with sleeves, as bare shoulders and armpits were considered highly offensive to genteel passengers. It is a hilarious reminder of Victorian-era modesty standards.
