I am not sure. I know I break some minor ones like going a few miles above the speed limit but I try and go the speed limit. It's always unintentional.

I do jay walk if there are no cars coming because I can't be bothered to walk a few blocks down for a cross walk. But if the road is really busy, forget it. I will use the cross walk.

I once drove without car insurance in 2010 because my dad had canceled it and never told me so I had went without it for a few days. Also unintentional and then it was intentional because he had told me and I had no choice because I had to use my car.

I once drove with expired license plates because that was also unintentional. I forgot all about it and then saw the date on them and realized that month was over. So I had to call my dad to send me renewal stickers. This was also in 2010. Then I got Oregon license plates two months later when my dad signed the car over to me so it's under my name now.


I've done that. It's a non moving violation, which means no points will be put on your license.

People are generally suspicious of me, but I don't normally go out of my way to break any laws, except for the really stupid ones.

My car is off the road for the last month, it's nice not to worry about speeding camera fines coming through the letter box.

People breaking the Law = $$ , the government thanks you and wants you to keep breaking the laws!! Just the small ones that is. :lol:

Breaking laws cost the government money. Cops are on the clock when they issue tickets & not everyone pays the tickets they are given. Some go to court to fight em & court cost cost money


Funny as an average citizen, I thought the fines paid made profits, I'm curious now to find out the pie chart breakdown of costs\money, Lawers etc... this may take some time to find. :)
