The CEO of Lotus was caught speeding, and his defence was absolutely ridiculous

“Driving over the speed limit is selfish, reckless and endangers lives."

“There is no justification for travelling at the speeds demonstrated in this case and Mr Gales should count himself lucky that he did not receive an additional six points on his licence, resulting in a 12-month ban."

“Excessive speeding is a menace on our roads and the law should be used to its fullest extent, making clear that this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated.”
