You've NEVER sped by choice? When the speed limit is 60km/h & you see that you're going more like 62, you take the time to slow down & focus on your speedometer rather than the road? Because obeying every single law is what counts, & it would be silly to break the speed limit just to avoid the possibility of swerving into the other lane & killing someone. Possibilities aren't illegal, after all...but speeding is. And the law is what matters, not the problem the law was created to solve.

And I don't care about your personal actions, I care about the rational behind them. If after all is said & done, you choose not to take your dog on the trails--fine. That's your choice & I honestly couldn't care less. But to say there is absolutely no situation where it would be okay to take your dog on the trails without a leash is just bullheaded & asinine.
