British laws that seem absurd but actually exist in the UK

[post_page_title]Taxis can’t carry rabid dogs[/post_page_title]
Even though that law about carrying bales of hay is not actually on the books today, there is another interesting rule that taxi drivers must abide by. It is illegal for taxis in London to carry rabid dogs or corpses.

We’re not quite sure why a cabbie would want to transport either of those things in their vehicle, but on the off chance that someone tries to hop in with their very ill pet or on their way to a funeral, the driver must politely refuse.
