Abstract
You know how it is driving along in a motor car. The police can discover just how fast you are going by timing your journey between two points, by bouncing radio beams off your car—they have all kinds of ways. And maybe you get a ticket through the mail two weeks later saying that at such and such a time at such and such a place you were going at such and such speed and it was too fast.
