Mr. Brown was stopped by the police because he was driving too fast on a London road.
| POLICE: | Please, pull into the side of the road… You have violated the traffic rules. Give me your driver’s license. |
| DRIVER: | Here it is. |
| POLICE: | Why didn't you stop when we first signalled? |
| DRIVER: | Did you signal more than once, then? |
| POLICE: | What do you think? Of course we did. Only you didn't see us because you were speeding. That's why. |
| DRIVER: | Was I? I'm sorry about that. What's the speed limit on this road? |
| POLICE: | Don't you know? The speed limit is 60 kph on this street. |
| DRIVER: | Was I doing more than that, then? |
| POLICE: | What do you think? Of course you were. You were doing more than 100 kph. |
| DRIVER: | Was I? I'm sorry about that. |
| POLICE: | I'm afraid I shall have to charge you with an offence under the Road Traffic Act and I’m going to take your driver’s license. |
| DRIVER: | Will I have to pay a fine? Will I have my licence endorsed? I haven’t any endorsements till now. |
| POLICE: | That's for the Court to decide. You can get your driver’s license in the police- station of the State Autoinspection at the following address: Walton street, 126. And now I must draw up a statement of the offence. |
