Discussion
Possible Answer for the Teacher’s Reference
Even if the driver cleverly shows that he is not guilty of stealing the car and killing 5 the owner, this does not necessarily mean he did not speed．We must take all possibilities into consideration．
To begin with，we should try to find out whether there is any evidence to show the driver was speeding．For example，we can check the records of the radar 6 device or police video，or find human witnesses．
Failing this，we may check whether the driver had any record of lying or cheating，or whether he had many previous traffic violations 7 0r a criminal record．If so，we can hardly trust his words．But this cannot yet provide conclusive 8 evidence of his speeding．
We might like to investigate whether the police officer has a record of lying or cheating since his statement contradicts the driver’s．This is normally impossible，for a habitual 9 liar 10 would have been dismissed from the police force．In fact，a policeman is usually assumed to be honest unless proved otherwise in a court of law．
If the driver is found guilty of speeding，he should be punished for that as well as for the lies he told about the theft and murder
