Do You Know Any Law?

With law, the word covers so many niches, that it would be impossible to mention them all in one breath. The sub-headings that come under just one banner are enormous. For instance, a simple traffic ticket or speeding ticket can lead, if they are not paid within the time allowed, to great amounts of time, and usually money, or even to a jail sentence, being used up in some cases.

Speeding ticket and parking tickets usually mean one has infringed a law in some way. Have you ever parked across someone’s driveway, or in someone’s driveway? Left the vehicle stationary right on a corner? Left it, not locked, unattended and un-hand-braked while one dives into a store? Probably all sins everyone has committed one day or another, but the legal ramifications can bite, hard. All of these types of ticket usually fall under the law of traffic infringement, and so are not thought of as serious as murder.

What would happen if a shop one wishes to visit is on a street with a little bit of slope? It may be hard to believe, but the vibrations from a heavy truck passing by are almost enough to push-start a small car left without the handbrake on. Think of two or three heavy trucks passing, and keeping that vibration going. The car rocks about, a stone under one tyre works loose, and the trouble starts.

Think of the damage that can be done if there are pedestrians, or another car parked or even driving towards the car. Far worse if the children are in the car, without adult help, also illegal, and terrifying, for both child and parent. This scene would be viewed very seriously indeed, by whom-ever sees it happen.

A speeding ticket can work both ways. Usually it is driving too fast for the road, or through a school zone over the speed limit, or some other infraction. Road signs are not there just for decoration. Most gradients and speed-signs are in place, because the roads have been tested at how fast the curve or gradient or simply the road can handle safely, without dangerous things happening. But, when one drives at a limit that impedes other drivers, then that is also a speeding ticket offence, in reverse.

It is quite simple really. If the gut feeling says one can’t really manage to drive safely, but the ego/stubbornness says one can, then that is one’s own stupidity. Most people have a feeling for their car. This may be rage, impatience or dislike for whatever model it is, but, if it is reliable and gets one from A to Z when one asks, does one really want it smashed up on the side of a road, or oneself in the greatest pain imaginable, or plain dead?

Many people do not drive to their standards. It is all very well to think one can drive like a top racing car driver, but, if one’s skills and capabilities are honestly only as good as Fred Flintstone, then why push it? Take some lessons in driving how one would like, and see how one copes.

Taking another person’s life by one’s egotistical behaviour is not good, but taking a whole family out is unforgivable. What had that family ever done to one to deserve that? Or was it totally not possible to leave two minutes earlier? The dishes will still be there later. If possible, delegate jobs, so everyone leaves slightly early. It really does not matter if one is taken out as well. The devastation left behind to families is appalling.

On the legal side of things, usually with the beginning of any problem, a paralegal takes the first steps in the procedure of things. Lawyers are very busy people, and often do not honestly have the time to find out the details of exactly what went on. Quite often, a paralegal can cover most of the case, but report back to the solicitor at every step. The paralegal is usually up-to-speed with any law that is crossed.
