“Funniest thing I've seen in a while. Is that what passes for journalism these days?
Man caught doing under speed limit in a vehicle that was street legal but looked like it might break down. Just for additional effect let's put in a picture of an empty road!
It's so bad, an attempt to come up with a witty riposte has failed me!!!”

“Hang on a mo... a perfectly legal vehicle was stopped by police because they thought it might break down and it didnt break down and this is news ?
I would hate what would what have happened if they found him to be in charge of a ciggarette.”

“So the headline should read "legal vehicle doing a legal speed legally on a legal road". There are so many better ways if making this an interesting story. Did you forget to interview the creator of this rather exciting sounding vehicle?”
