Are you a law-abiding citizen?Do you obey simple laws?Some people walk to that particular street even though it is no jaywalking zone.Still littering (like candy wrapper)even though there are trash can nearby.Still crossing the street even though there is over pass to use to avoid accident.Drunk driving even you know that it is prohibited.Cutting off in long line of people.Smoking in a non smoking area.Peeing anywhere instead in the comfort room.Not using seat belt while driving even though it is really compulsory.And many other simple laws that sometimes we forget and having a hard time to obey.
Sometime i don't use the over pass due to laziness in using the stairs hehe.

I try my best to be a law abiding citizen. I know that the majority of the laws that are set in place for my safety and the safety of others. I don't like to litter because it is bad for the environment. I do things that are required even though it may not be the most comfortable, like wearing a seatbelt.

Yeah wearing seat belt is quite uncomfortable sometimes but we have to wear it for our own safety.Just try our very best to obey the laws.

Yeah there are many laws to obey but if we do our best to obey them we should be fine. It's when people disrespect laws and purposely try to break them it adds problems. So I just do my best to obey them.

I don't consider myself an expert on every single law out there. However, for the laws that I do know, I do try and follow them. As far as I know. I don't really remember, I may have bent a law or two every now and again. Out of the ones that I know. Who knows about the laws that I didn't know. There have been times where there are laws that I discover that are so absurd that I have to really have a nice little chuckle.
Still there are going to be times where I am going to really follow the laws to the best of my abilities. This is really just going to be something that I am going to do. There are going to be a time or two where a law is going to be something that is going to not be all that fair. It's going to take all of my resolve to follow it. Yet, I must. There are just times where it is a battle within my mind about many laws. Still I try and walk that line of the law, even though its a tightrope.

Hi ardoyo, yes I am a law abiding citizen, following and respecting whatever simple laws that I cant do any violations.The reason why? It's because, that is already approved under the Rules and regulations under the government law.
Because I am one of the citizen of this country I should follow, and it necessary.
Good day to you, God bless!!!

I am a law abiding citizen in my home country. I care for the environment so I always put litter in a bid or recycle it. I cross the road where it is safe to do so. I drive at or below the legal limit. This can be 20, 30, 40 or 50 miles an hour. I always put my seat belt on before I start my car to go somewhere. I put my children into their safety seats. I think drunk driving is very dangerous and nobody should do it. I visit other countries and try to stick to their laws. Singapore had some strange laws like not feeding monkeys.

Yes, I am a law abiding citizen. I would do whatever I can to not get into trouble. That is one of bottom line. You know the fine would be too expensive, and the local authority would look forward to it. I just couldn't afford to pay them like that, or to contribute additional revenue to those authority department. Our tax fee just more than enough.

Laws are there to make our lives better, What irritates me is that there are people who do not abide by them but others end up suffering due to their negligence - such as a drunk person driving, and then ending up in a car accident which kills somebody else.
Another thing whcih i really hate is when is sometimes see policemen who park on yellow lines or pass through traffic on the road's white lines. They are not giving a good example.

In general, i am a law-abiding citizen. Yet it is hard for me to hehave as a gentleman. Because in that way, i can't live in my country.

I respect some of the laws and disrespect the rest .I always broke the laws that make no sense to me like going to army when i was 20yo,crossing the street only on some special places etc.If there is no car coming why should i waste my time ? There is someone more disrespectful than me and that one is the government,they can break any law and no one will do a damn thing to punish them.Or if they are punished they will pay from people`s money not from their own money.

It reminded me of my all time fav. movies (Gerard butler and Jamie Foxx). It is not just about the law but if you want to keep your city clean or not. I keep the wrapper in my pocket and throw it in a dustbin. I still have the bus tickets of yesterday in my pockets!!!!
