A policeman stops a speeding car and asks to see the driver's licence. The motorist confesses that he hasn't got one - he has been banned for drink-driving. The officer requests vehicle documents, but it's not the motorist's car; he admits that it's stolen.

Seeing the policeman's expression, the driver adds that he saw the logbook in the glove compartment - where he stowed the gun after shooting the owner and stuffing his body in the boot. The officer immediately radios for back-up and the vehicle is soon surrounded by police. A detective inspector approaches and asks the suspect again for his licence.

When the motorists produces it, the inspector asks who owns the car, "I do," replies the driver. "Here's the logbook." The detective wants to see inside the glove compartment. "I've been told there's a firearm," he adds. The driver complies. It's empty. When the inspector asks to look in the boot, that's empty too.

"I don't get it," says the detective. "The officer who stopped you says you've no licence, you're in possession of a stolen vehicle and a gun, and there's a body in the boot."

"Really?" replies the driver. "I bet he said I was speeding too."
