Question

I don't usually do this -But Fan&Medal will be given :) Thanks! :) lol

Answer 1

Scenario: Local law requires that drivers drive no faster than 45 miles per hour on local roads. The law outlines punishments for those who speed. The penalty increases the faster the person travels above the speed limit. The most severe punishments are for those who travel faster than 20 miles per hour above the speed limit.
Signs post this law on most roads, but some sections of roads are missing signs. Local police stop a man traveling 67 miles per hour. He apologizes and insists that he meant no harm. His wife was having a baby and he was anxious to get her quickly to a hospital. The officer gave him a ticket and told him he will have to appear in court since he was going so fast.

Question: Is the source of the law a statute, regulation, case law, or combination? How do you know?

Answer 2

Well, a statute is a written law and a regulation is a rule that obviously regulates something, in this case speed. Since it is a local law that drivers can't drive faster than 45mph it is a statute. But, since the speed is being regulated here, I would have to say it is a combination of a statute and regulation.
