Most broken non-aviation law?
Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the most broken laws. I use to think that maybe it would be speeding but now I am sure that it is texting while driving. Seems like when you go by a car that is so careful not to break the speed limit, that person has no problem texting.
I would say my thoughts on the top 5 are
1-texting while driving (illegal here in the communist state of VA)
2-Speeding
3-J walking (saw an article where a mother was charged with something for J-walking with her child and child was hit and killed)
4-cheating on taxes
5-adultry
What do you folks think?

Flying a predominately RED flag was still against the law here in Oklahoma too the last time they did one of those stupid law stories on the news - but it obviously isn't enforced (think OU's flag 
) .
Heck - it seems only the Marines are even still prosecuting adultry in the military though it is still against the UCMJ (especially if it is not in conjunction with numerous other infractions)

Texting while driving should be illegal. I'm from VA and glad it is.
Its seriously not worth it, and took me almost running into a jersey wall while doing it to finally just say screw it, and throw my phone into the passenger seat while I'm driving. If you really need to send a text while in the car, at least wait till youre at a stop light.
Also I'm sure speeding is the most broken law.

Speeding. Its a per se violation and arguably everybody does it. Once you speed over the posted limit, you're guilty. Whether you get caught or not.
Adultery is covered under "alienation of affection" statutes in some states, North Carolina comes to mind as one
