Yebbut what's the point? The first guys would just go and run over an IED that they'd misplaced.

Here's the fitting dialog, stolen and adapted from Trains, Planes and Automobiles -

Osama: Top of the morning officer, Is there something I can help you with?
Officer: What the hell are you driving here?
Osama: We had a small explosion last night...hee...heee. But we caught it in the nick of time.
Officer: You have any idea how fast you were going?
Osama: Fondly enough I was just talking to my friend about that....our speedometer is melted....and as a result it's very hard to say with any degree of accuracy how fast we were going.
Officer: 78 miles per hour.
Osama: Whew....78 huh? Well...yeah....I could buy that...sure I guess...you know...uhhh...you'd know better than us uuhhh....especially since we've got a melted speedometer.
Officer: Do you feel this vehicle is safe for highway travel?
Osama: Yes I do....Yes I really do...I believe that....I know it's not pretty to look at....but It'll get you where you want to go.
Officer: Now you have no outside mirror.
Osama: No we lost that.
Officer: You have no functioning gauges.
Osama: No...not a one. However the radio still works...funny as that may seem...with all this mess the radio is the only thing really working good. Clear as a bell, don't ask me how.
