I'm tempted to add the top shaggy-dog account, the one about the spider's world-wide-web (I exaggerate but only very slightly) which, according to the right-honourable accused-in-the-dock, tied the speedo needle to rest-n-recovery position, yer 'onour, "and the verry-slight movement past 30 MPH was all it took to free the critter's shackles....yer 'onour" but I won't deviate that far off-topic.... I'd much rather remind all UK-n-World readers that in Court, even as late as 2009...Common Law still Rulez... and while The Accused might find it's hard to get away with Murder, all Official recriminations are Fair Game for a Creative-Commons Court traffic-misdemeanour appearance....believe it or Ripley not.

Watch this short video in awe.

This vid was/is highly illegal under court regs, BTW, no bat-fone-cams aloud they said... you are privileged to find out how the court wigs cave in in face of such cunningly-serious opposition. NB The key lies in getting the case heard under "Common Law" priovisions, whereupon the person appearing for the Named defendant (who "may or may not be present among the Public witnesses here in court") can demand the case be heard by a jury of 12 of the accused's fellow citizens.

It all becomes (only-slightly) clearer....
