Driver sorry officer, i passed two signs each stating 30 mph.
"So you deliberately ignored the speed limit"
No sir two signs reading 30 means I can do 60. The add up.
On that subject, we used to have a couple of aircraft towing tractors for shifting aircraft around. One day the local military police got a radar gun to play with, and pulled over one of our techies for allegedly doing more than 25 mph on the road that ran around the runway. On the day of the charge the techie was asked if he wanted to call any witnesses, to which he replied that he wanted to call the officer in charge of all the mechanical transport on the station (and by default in charge of the tractors}. Said officer was duly called, and was asked what the top speed of the tractors was. The officer replied it was 20 mph as the engine was fitted with a governor.
Case was dismissed, the military police were told not to tell porky pies about speeding when it was not feasible, and after everyone had left the techies shift boss was quietly told to make sure all the engine governors were fitted back onto the tractors......
