A Portland attorney who blamed his German luxury car for a speeding ticket was told he was responsible, not the automaker.

C. Akin Blitz said he was just trying to get ahead of a line of cars following a motorhome over a mountain pass on U.S. Highway 26 -- that he had no idea his BMW 535xi was going 76 mph in a 55 mph zone because of its handling characteristics.

what a retard! he just perpetuates the stereotype and gives lawyers a bad rep.

I would have tried in a much less douchebag way than blaming the car and trying to say how awesome it was. The guy was clearly a new attorney. If he actually had some smarts, he wouldn't have made an argument that would only annoy people, much less a judge.
