Not if it goes in a circle...

But, I once read a story about a driver ticketed for failure to stop at a stop sign who took his case before a judge. He claimed that he had stopped, only very briefly, and perhaps the cop had not seen the stop. To demonstrate his defense, he tossed a coin up in the air, and asked the judge if he saw the coin stop before it reversed directions at the top of the toss.

He was acquitted.
