Man travels with severed foot in bumper
2004-12-21
A 23-year-old British driver turned himself in to police after finding a severed foot wedged in his bumper of his Volvo. Prosecutors said Peter Dearing drove two miles with the body part of biker Richard Sholl and allegedly called police after he made the grisly find and realized his license plate had been detached, reported the Sun Monday.
Severed foot lodged in bumper - Check!
Licence plate left at accident scene - Check!
I think this is what CSI would call a "slam dunk".
"He could see and hear Mr. Sholl screaming in pain, before he got back into his car and left the scene," said prosecutor Sophie Lorimer. Dearing, who had no license or insurance, admitted in court he failed to stop after an accident.
Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

#4  The driver clearly put a foot in his mouth, in front of the judge.

#3  Obviously, the biker's foot was in the wrong place when it happened. Get my barrister on the phone.

#2  any doubt that if the license weren't left at the scene, he wouldn't have turned himself in?

hmmmm... I'ma wonder if maybe a car that dumps some sort of mechanical dna after a 3 G bump might be in order.
