Probably like many standards set by Nationals.
If you jaywalk and get hit by a car or cause and accident, you'll usually be cited.
If you ignore your Nationals and get in trouble, you'll probably be taken to task.

A law is a standard, first of all, depending on usage of the word, or sets standards.
Second of all, given that neither the law nor the standards are usually enforced until a law is broken, it's pretty obvious that many standards really aren't pushed.
