They also had a law here where speedo's could not read higher than 80 MPH. Anyfaster than that and the needle went into a blank area of the guage. Another ridiculous idea.

Gave you five days to go buy a bent M.O.T and a dodgy insurance cover note

Look, I don't even know which one I am, let alone you. We're just having a beautiful brotherhood of man moment here. Man the barricades!

I was thinking a bar code on the neck might be nice.
