There are a number of things you can do to try to weasel your way out of ticket. For example, crying and begging can sometimes prove effective. But punching yourself in the face? Not so much.

Apparently the European man in the above video didn't get the memo. When issued a speeding ticket, he let himself into the police car (a counter-intuitive move, no?) and told the police offer he was going to report him for roughing him up, and then proceeds to rough himself up, unflinchingly waling away at his own face.

Poor guy clearly watched Fight Club one too many times and forgot that while offices might not have cameras, most police cars actually do. The officer encourages the guy to get a few more self-inflicted shots in before he cooly breaks the news. 

Cue the cursing!
