“I’ve been driving for 55 years and I’ve never had an accident,” a elderly man remonstrates with a police officer beside a parked car outside Raumati Village Meats’. Onscreen text, documentary-style: “Saturday 11.15pm”. “Just be quiet a minute, you bloody nincompoop!” he shouts over the officer, “See that -” (Thrusting the badges on his lapel forwards) - “I was reasonable during the war. I fought for my country! I fought for my country and you come along and you pick on us old fellows.” Onscreen text: “Disqualified for 7 months. Fined $750”. Concluding onscreen text: “NO EXCUSES” with the ‘New Zealand Police’ and ‘Land Transport Safety Authority’ logos.
