text: why is it illegal to run out of gas in the state of ohio?and does it count for 4 all off road vehicles too? i found this on www.dumb.com/laws.htm i've seen tons of stupid laws but never heard of them actually getting enforced. i think that legislators get bored and don't want to look lazy so they think of stupid laws. why else would there be a law against eating ice cream with a fork in some city in washington state?
