If a speed limit sign is obscured by a bush and I'm unable to see it that makes me ignorant of the law. You can't get a traffic ticket for that. I've seen it successfully fought.


Then you have seen a miracle. I think that, you could, in theory even be fined for not clearing the sign if it can be proven you were aware that it was obscured. And at least here in Finland being unaware of the law isn't viable defence.

Many shows (especially sports) forbid the duplication of said show in a statement or the credits. - 20/01/2011 03:22:10 AM 1319 Views
I haven't been able to read the credits for TV shows in years. - 20/01/2011 03:51:40 AM 1198 Views

We need to distinguish between a crime and a tort. - 19/01/2011 10:17:30 PM 1416 Views
Very interesting. - 19/01/2011 10:28:35 PM 1423 Views
