"Oh no, there's a cop, what'll I do? I know, I'll crash and then claim I wasn't driving because the car won't go."
Reminds me of a time when we were on the way to Ft Polk LA to support the national guard exercises. A pickup was stalled on the westbound side of a long high bridge, so some "lady" decided it would be best to crash into a 5 ton dump truck instead of waiting 'till it was clear to pass. Shortened her '53 Chevy by about 1/3, broke the front axle loose on the truck and pushed it over the side of the bridge. No idea what became of the 2 guys in the truck, but it's not likely to be anything you'd want to see.
Of course, they made us repair the truck.
