Some laws have nothing to do with morality or justice.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True

Many traffic laws are good examples of such laws. There is no morally correct side of the road to drive on, but we need a law to tell us which side to drive on just so we can coordinate our driving to avoid collisions.
