When 55-year-old Nigel Mills from Essex got caught driving at 88 miles per hour, there was only one question on the officers' lips: 'Were you trying to recreate Doc Brown's time travel in Back To The Future, sir?' - say 'yes', say 'yes', say 'yes'...
However, it turns out that Mills wasn't trying to recreate the iconic movie moment when climbing to 88mph - the speed at which Doc Brown famously claimed the DeLorean could break the time-space continuum in the 1985 hit movie, Back To The Future. Rather more boringly, he was just speeding.

Mills admitted that his car, which he paid £22,000 for, only gets taken out a handful of times each year.
Pleading his innocence, Mills claims that the road 'was completely clear' when he was done for speeding.
When he attended court to argue his case, it was soon dismissed, and he was released without having to pay any fine as the two officers who clocked him failed to show up.
WAIT, WHAT??!! GREAT SCOTT!!
