The Speed of Light Exceeds the Limit

So I get pulled over by this cop who claims I was speeding. I told him it wasn't my fault. I explained because it was night time I had my headlights on and that because light travels at the speed of light, and since my car is attached it all has to go at the speed of the headlights. Which have to stay on, otherwise it would be dangerous. Which is likely why I was traveling at the speed he thought I was traveling at instead of the speed limit and why it wasn't my fault.

He let me off with a smile and a warning not to break the sound barrier.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

QED, no chalk required.

The last time I tried something like that I sat in the back of a squad car for a half an hour till I explained that I was an over zealous musician and my creative mouth got me into more trouble than good...which the cop then simply turned around and said "why didn't you say so to begin with" which he then let me go.
