Just heard on the radio, some bloke has just been convicted of speeding on a dual carriageway in Oxfordshire, which has a speed limit of 70mph.
Two cops clocked this headcase with a radar gun from an overpass, travelling at what they thought was 170mph – later examination of the data showed the driver travelling at 172mph.
The prosecuting lawyer pointed out that the driver had been travelling fast enough for a Boeing 747 to achieve lift-off.
He denied having illegally taken a ?90,000 Porsche from his previous employers.
