What you are not grasping, despite it being said repeatedly, is that he broke the rules, more than once, was CAUGHT, more than once, and THEN tried to worm his way out of the punishment.
Now, I'll ask again. If YOU were caught speeding would you say "it's a fair cop" or come out with some stupid, malebovinefaeces excuse as to why you should NOT face any penalty for speeding.
You see, that is what he did. He broke the rules, and not for the first time, was caught, not for the first time, was penalised, not for the first time, and in the end tried to get off with it on a technicality, which obviously didn't exist, AND tried to pass part of the blame onto someone else!! And somehow he has "been hard done by"?
If I was in your car, saying "go faster", would that be a valid excuse in court when YOU are hauled up for speeding?
