I am not being ignorant of the law, as I am perfectly aware that there is a speed limit. Without a speedometer, I might be ignorant of my exact speed however.
Yeah, I suggest you don't try tellin that to the judge. My pickup doesn't have a speedo or doors for that matter. I got a speedin ticket that night when that college boy Hooper just kinda rolled out'a the truck on the salt pond road, and it didn't do no good when I told judgy I couldn't tell how fast I was going cause I aint got no speedo. No, give up on that excuse mister.
