    Twenty year driving ban - fessed up as well (sort of).

    Arithmetic isn't one of your less weak skills, is it, M'Lud?

    After overtaking, he continued to accelerate. 100 metres before the crash, he had reached 93mph, and at the time of the collision he was driving at speeds of at least 83mph, the court was told.

    At the moment of impact, he was travelling at more than one speed?

    How does that work? Was the car expanding in size? Contracting? What
    would have happened if he'd approached the speed of sound?

    Schrodinger's speedometer, perhaps?

    Mr Langston was crossing the road and if Safdar had been driving safely, he could have reached the other side 'without incident', prosecutor David James said. ENDS
    Why was the court not informed by Mr Arsehole that the pedestrian was partly to blame for not wearing a plastic hat and a dayglow coat?
