Motorists don't like getting caught speeding, but this may be a rather extreme way of getting off the charge.

This Dutch motorcyclist was clocked at 137 kmh (85 mph) by a speed camera on the A28 at Staphorst, Holland - while sliding down the tarmac on his backside after falling off his Kawasaki[1] ZRX1200.[2] As if it was any consolation the 50 year old motorcyclist was cleared of the speeding charge.

We wouldn't suggest that you try the same thing to get off speeding charges.
