 Those are clearly wrong as well. 
  
 However no matter how many examples of wrongs you can find, none of 
 them could ever amount to a right. 
  
 Whereas if a pedestrian, having been sorely inconvenienced or even 
 injured by one of these contraptions, took it up on themselves 
 to seek immediate retribution, what might the Magistrate well say ? 
  
 Can you guess ?
