 It wouldn't be the first time someone got the decimal-place wrong  . . . 

Make sure the grave is at least 3.0 metres deep and 2.0 metres long  . . .

 They may or may not be wider than the roads, but you will be
booked turning right over them instead of taking the third exit.

   - No, under the Australian Road Rules, the only centre-divider that it's
legal to drive over is the centre of a roundabout.

Any company would have to produce evidence that you had actually copied from
their database - just having a list of streets identical to another is no
proof that you copied it, rather than sourcing it from the physical world.

That's why Sensis persist in having errors in their database - purely to
catch anyone doing wholesale copying without verifying against the real
world, to identify the fake streets.
