A few years ago a then colleague of mine wrote off his company car when
he rounded a bend on a country lane and met a tractor. He was adamant
that the crash couldn't possibly have been his fault, as he had been
doing less than the speed limit.
This was the same colleague who, when stopped for speeding, used the
"defence" that he didn't know he was speeding because it was too foggy
to see the speed limit signs...
