Summary/Abstract: The subject matter of this paper is an attempt to demonstrate and to explain the important significance of the normative expression: “even unintentionally” used in Article 177 § 1 of the Polish criminal code. For that purpose, the author, partially opposing the points of view presented so far in the criminal law doctrine, tries to make a creative use of the concept of conventional acts in law, with a particular focus on conventionalisation and formalisation of conventional acts. The approval of the assumption that objectively understood norms of care in criminal law are a prerequisite for the normative character of the sanctioning norm, results in accepting the necessity of deeming even unintentional breach of traffic code as a condition that formalises the criminal liability of the offender committing a given crime.
