The purpose of the traffic school is to
allow cyclists that have been ticketed for running through a stop sign or riding at night without lights to «go to traffic school to avoid a
hefty fine — and pick up some safety pointers.
In Russia, it is now illegal for same - sex couples to hold hands and doing so can lead to imprisonment and
hefty fines.5 In Nigeria, same - sex couples holding hands can face up to 10 years in prison6 and in Uganda, similar displays of affection could lead to legal execution if a controversial bill is passed that
allows «aggravated homosexuality» to be punished by death.7 Even without the risk of these extreme legal penalties, many same - sex couples avoid holding hands because they fear the potential repercussions from doing so in front of the wrong person at the wrong time.8 Such fears are not irrational.
