Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

The answer is of course yes. If you’ve been driving for a few years it must be all but nigh on impossible not to have strayed above the speed limit a few times without realising.

Similarly the odd amber light must have been skipped along with occasional parking violations. The instructions and timings for parking in the United Kingdom are often confusing and seem to result in a number of cases making court and consequently the media. My friend managed to surpass himself recently on a trip to the Isle of Man though when he didn’t realise you had to reverse into parking bays there and duly received a ticket!

Beyond these there are I’m sure many more obscure laws that very few people are aware of and I and others have fallen foul of. I remember I read recently about the need to have dogs safely tethered in cars when taking them out and about. Concerning with the number of them you see with their heads happily hanging out of front passenger seat windows, especially in the summer.
