Question

Answer 1

• Law is a system of rules, usually imposed by a Government or Institution and is applied to govern a group of people. It shapes politics, economics, and society in numerous ways.
  
• The most common example of a violation of the rule of law can be seen on the roads. Motorists and pedestrians do not follow the traffic rules. Motorists do not adhere to speed limits nor do they stop behind the line at traffic signals. Pedestrians rarely use the zebra crossing and cross the road at will causing harm not only to themselves but also to other road users.
