Have you ever unintentionally broken the law? I think we all do it sometime in our lives. Especially motorists. In fact drivers probably do so every time they are in their car or on their motorbike. We all creep over the speed limit. Drive too close, (an offence in the UK), fail to stop at …

He’s Got to be Joking!
