I am definitely not making any accusations, but here is one example of a law many people break without realizing it. Let's say you are driving down the street to the grocery store. You are paying careful attention and see that there is no one on the sidewalk as you approach the driveway. You slow down, signal, and make a right turn into the parking lot.

And you just broke the law. It is a violation of Transportation Code section 545.423. There is more to the section but it includes that a person may not cross a sidewalk without stopping.

One of my complaints about the law is that it has become so complex and has so many laws that no-one can know them and obey them all. And despite this, many people (and some judges) still will say that ignorance of the law is no excuse. I dsiagree, but I don't get to make the decision often.
