Have you heard the steve jobs approach? Ethically dubious, but very effective. He just got a new car long enough he could avoid having a real plate so he could park illegally.

I don't think it was that deep -- I think Jobs was simply being a self-absorbed asshole in this case.

I've not read of him routinely buying new cars - quite the contrary. In this case I believe it was a simple disregard for the laws that only applied to "little people." He couldn't be bothered and didn't care.

Related: He routinely parked his Mercedes (the one without a license plate) in a reserved Handicapped parking space.

Don't see how that would be effective for speeding though.
