Many may not know they have done anything wrong, while others simply might not care.
But the average person breaks the law at least once a day, a survey has found.
Speeding, using a mobile phone while driving and dropping litter top the list of rules and regulations regularly flouted.
Other laws often broken are eating while driving, parking on pavements and not wearing a seatbelt.
While some of these crimes can have fatal consequences, 58 per cent say they are not very important.
Another 20 per cent say that because everyone is up to it, they don’t even see the actions as being illegal.
Only 5 per cent of Britons say they never break any laws .
John Sewell, spokesman for www.onepoll.com, which carried out the survey, said: ‘It’s worrying to think that so many people are breaking the law on a daily basis.
‘And it’s an even bigger concern that many aren’t at all bothered about it.
‘But these so-called minor crimes are committed so regularly they have almost become legal, which seems to be the reason so many people aren’t fazed when they do break the law.’
