5. Australlia- Taxi cabs are reqired to carry a bale of hay in the trunk (This also applies to Britain)

The only thing I keep in the boot of my hackney carriage licensed LTI TX4, is a spare wheel, the wheelchair ramp extension, and a random collection of tools and cleaning materials. If they found hay in there at the annual inspection it would probably be failed under the cleanliness rules.

This has never been a legal requirement in Britain, it was a common misunderstanding about a rule about carrying sufficient feed for horse drawn hackney carriages (which I believe was removed from the statute books in the 70's), and this law never applied to motorised hackney carriages either.

However, due to the way the law was worded, and the way the UK legal system works, this misunderstanding was never disproven in the courts, so many drivers used to carry miniature bales of hay, just because they didn't want to be the one who has to go through the courts to test this assumption.
