"the car travelled (91 meters)and the time it took (3 sec.) means the vehicle WAS travelling at a speed greater than 60mph."

Was this calculated by bored math students or NASA?

NASA not too long ago crashed a probe into Mars due to English/Metric conflics.

Who in their right mind would measure one parameter in Metric units for a solution in English units?

Any local traffic court would throw out this speeding ticket.
