A case for self defense

There may be better examples of people creatively defending themselves from a speeding ticket, but I don't recall seeing one.

Of course the officer screwed up the date of the event along with the make and model of the car in question leaving the police little choice in the matter. Given the facts in evidence, the defendants theory is either plausible or the case was lost...

So to recap, it appears that on my birthday on June the 23^rd 1974, I crawled out of the maternity ward, hijacked a seriously high powered Honda saloon with an automated number plate changing mechanism, drove to Auckland at close to Mach 1, was pulled over approaching the Bombay hills and unwittingly changed the automated number plate changing mechanism to show the same number as a car I would come to own almost thirty years later!!
