The new law took effect Friday after Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek signed a bill allowing drivers to dispense fuel themselves.

For the first time in more than seven decades, drivers in Oregon are allowed to pump their own gas.

    Don’t worry guys. Whole continents manage to pump their own gas without Major issues. I’m sure you will manage it too 😉

      You never went to Switzerland where the only noise you’re allowed to do after 10 pm is pooping.

        Now I’m curious about the situation that lead to that to that exception being added and if there was a death involved where someone held it in until morning when they should have just gone right away.

          The legend says that you aren’t allowed to flush the toilet after 10 pm. Actually, people must avoid making noise after 10pm by law. It’s not here for fun.

          Switzerland has a reporting culture. People will report you to the police and/or your landlord if you’re making too much noise after 10pm. Also, Sundays and holidays are by law a day of rest.

    Clearly no Oregonians in this thread. Everyone I’ve met in Oregon loves that they don’t have to pump their own gas.
