California man shares all the bizarre laws he has to follow when using his 'flying car' in public

This California man shares all the bizarre laws he has to follow when using his hi-tech futuristic ‘flying car’ in public.

Yes, even when your vehicle looks like something out of Spider-Man, the law says you’ve got to treat it like a plane.

From speed limits in the sky to calling air-traffic control before lift-off, the rules are stranger than you’d think.

And as it turns out, driving and flying anything in California means juggling two totally different sets of regulations.

The laws you have to follow in California if you have a ‘flying car’

When a YouTuber fired up his SkySurfer Aircraft ‘flying car‘ over the famous Venice Beach skatepark, the thrill quickly turned into a legal headache with some seemingly bizarre laws.

Because the park sits just three miles from an airport, federal law says the airspace actually belongs to the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA).

That meant that the YouTuber, Hunter Kowald, was supposed to call into air-traffic control before even lifting off the ground – because his futuristic flying toy technically counts as an airplane.

Forget spontaneous joyrides, he discovered that you actually need to check official air-maps before flying to know whether take-off is even allowed.

These charts spell out which airspace you’re entering and how strict the rules are, from fully restricted ‘no-fly’ zones to controlled air corridors where clearance is mandatory.

Speed limits in the sky

One of the weirdest discoveries we learned from the video is that there’s a speed limit for flying cars.

In fact, he was told by a stunt coordinator during filming:

“Lock your speed, no exceptions.”

While he mentions a quirky 63mph ceiling in his video, the actual FAA speed rules mean you can’t just max out the throttle – even if you’re ‘racing a Lamborghini’ in the sky.

When you’re in a flying car, you have to legally be allowed to drive on the road, but when you’re in the air, you have to have all your pilot qualifications.

From Venice Beach to Hollywood film sets, this California man is learning the hard way that flying cars are not a legal free-for-all.

Every flight requires planning, coordination, and compliance with rules that sound more like pilot training than joyriding.

As futuristic as it looks, the message is clear: the skies aren’t lawless and there are bizarre laws – even for a ‘flying car’.
