OMG Then I've broken the law every time I've driven a stick
Oh well I've heard a prominent law professors say the average person breaks the law every day, there are just too many stupid laws on the books for even the average police officer to know them all
Instance- I used to teach Motorcycle Safety classes in Maryland, part of MSF, and we all knew it was illegal to ride a MC over 50cc without a drivers license and registration had the code in front of us. And if under it had to have aux pedals i.e. a moped. Well then these kids start blasting around on 250cc scooters sans tags on the streets right past the police
I asked 4 different police officers(we lived near a substation and I'd catch them on the way out) and not one could tell me if these 250cc's were breaking the law. Since I don't ride that small anymore I quit trying to figure it out.
