Update (with video!): Pedal powered Buick driver beats court charge!

"Spectators giggle as prosecutor points out dangers of operating fake Buick"

Good news! Remember the thread Toronto cops bust pedal-powered Buick? They had their day in court this week, and came out victorious!

Via the Toronto Star:

Quote:
The prosecutor's case began to unravel when he turned his attack to the tea light-candle headlights.

Up until that point, Daniel Lerner had argued that the car in question was unsafe because of its dangerous braking system. Granted, classifying the hollowed-out Buick a car is a bit of a stretch.
