You keep 2 things when you obey the law: your self respect and your money.

We as parents always have stressed being law abiding citizens, because it pleases us, but there are more practical reasons why it's good to obey the law. For one thing, you keep your respect. You can look in the mirror and like the guy looking back at you. You can walk down the street with your head held high. Then there's the matter of money. Breaking the law can get expensive with fines and  court costs. There are better ways to spend the money. Obey the law and your bank account will thank you and so will the man in the mirror! 

Remember that the benefits of keeping the law outweigh any so called benefits of breaking it.
