A defendant charged with driving with a suspended license appeared via Zoom while driving. “I don’t know why he would do that,” a perplexed judge said.

一名被控駕照被吊扣還開車的被告邊開車邊透過Zoom出庭。「我不知道他為什麼要那樣做，」困惑的法官說。

If one is facing a charge of driving with a suspended license, there are better ways to make one’s case than from behind the wheel of a moving vehicle.

一個人若被控在駕照被吊扣的情況下開車，應該有比坐在移動車輛的方向盤後方更好的辦法，來為自己辯護。

That self-evident reality was momentarily lost on a Michigan man who did just that when he appeared via Zoom for a pre-trial hearing in Washtenaw County District Court, leaving a judge perplexed.

（但美國）密西根州一名男子在透過Zoom出席華希特諾郡地方法院的審前聽審時，一時間沒能搞懂此等不證自明的事實，令法官困惑不已。

“I’m pulling into my doctor’s office actually, so just give me one second I’m parking right now,” the man, Corey Harris, 44, told Judge J. Cedric Simpson as he asked for a moment before beginning the proceeding.

「我現在正開進我的醫生的辦公室，所以給我一點時間，我現在正在停車，」44歲的哈里斯在聽審程序開始前要求等他一下時，如此告訴法官辛普森。
