what is the difference between "will not" and "cannot" in legalese?


"Will not" allows the existence of a bridge but it's not on your route and you say you're not going to go over it. "Cannot" is the absence of a bridge or the ability to cross it.


Wow, well explained.


My off leash dog will not bite you, he is well behaved. My dog at home cannot bite you, he is too far away.
