Taika Waititi Reads Clever Letter From Man Who Was Ticketed for Speeding the Day He Was Born

The great Taika Waititi read aloud a hilarious letter written in 2004 by Justin Lee of Auckland, New Zealand about a speeding ticket that was issued on the day he was born. Lee made several ingenious points about the improbability of the ticket, each of which was amusingly emphasized by Waititi at a Letters Live event at the Royal Albert Hall in 2019.

When Auckland resident Justin Lee received the above speeding ticket back in 2004, he noticed a typo: according to said notice, the infringement in question had taken place 30 years beforehand, in 1974, on the day he was born. His entertaining response was read by Taika Waititi at Letters Live at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2019.
