• procecution: "Ah, so sir, you are saying the defendant was travelling so fast you were unable to resolve his speed with the naked eye? damning evidence indeed, your honour"

    true story from a traffic officer;

    defence: "so officer, how fast do you think the defendant was driving at the time of the incident?"

    officer: "I would say approximately 60 miles per hour"

    defence: "Uh-huh, and how do you know this?"

    officer: "I have been driving a car practically every day for over 20 years and have extensive training in advanced driving so it is an educated guess that I am sure is reliable"

    defence solicitor picks up a pencil and throws it across the court room

    defence: "so officer, how fast do you think that pencil was travelling?"

    officer: "I have no idea."

    defence: "so how then can say you know the speed of the car that day when you can't tell the speed of that pencil only moments ago?"

    officer: "well.....I don't drive a pencil"
