I have six legs. You have no evidence to justify disbelieving me, but the fact that no-one has six legs should give the game away as to whether I'm telling the truth.

Similarly, the fact that all drivers speed gives you a pretty good idea about whether Spindrift's telling the truth.

No, because that's completely different to "never speeding". You don't need to almost go through red lights or almost go the wrong way down one-way streets the whole time that you're moving.
