Man gets 115 MPH Ticket Dropped

He went through the effort of bringing in an expert driver to test his Fiat Punto 1.2 liter to prove that there's no way it could go that fast. The driver came back, and said that the fastest it could do was 104 MPH -- going downhill and with a trailing wind. The speeding case was dropped (though he still had to pay £40 for "driving without due care and attention").

I tried and failed with a similar (though less thorough) tactic when they gave me a ticket for 93 in a 55 in my Subaru Justy.

It wouldn't have helped being more thorough though, I have gotten 104 downhill with a strong tailwind before :)
