Some laws are pretty obvious, while others are less so. Redditor u/Team_Emerald asked the subreddit r/AskReddit, “What's something that most people don't know is illegal?” 

Other Redditors gave their answers to help you avoid breaking the law when it's not as straightforward as it seems.

If you drink your own booze on a plane in the United States, you could be viable to pay up to $40,000 in fines. So, skip the Duty Free unless you're stocking up for post-flight partying.

u/glutenflaps responded, “Tailgating. Hell, even the cops do it. Following too close is the number one cause of accidents but is never enforced.”

It isn't just illegal in Arizona. Driving in reverse on the roads is not permitted anywhere in the U.S.

u/2Girls1Pet added that, “Even if you’re going above the speed limit and there’s a car behind you, you’re obstructing the flow. Move over.”
