There’s no way they truly believe this. This is like the equivalency of a fake “insanity” plea. They’re lying, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep up the charade anyway.
I know a guy who picked up a rental car in Calgary and headed out on the highway to Edmonton. He got pulled over. The previous renter had the digital speedo set to MPH. He got off with a warning.
Been to Canada a few times. Every border crossing that I’ve seen has a large, purposefully-difficult-to-miss sign mentioning that they post speeds and distances in km.

Errrr, what planet does he live on?
I cannot get any of my US specs car to display degrees C, they are stuck on F.
That said, the guy was a moron and deserved his impoundment. Though it does seem a trifle harsh to impound the car for 14 days with the 10 year old in it.

What kind of car has a speedometer that does not indicate both MPH and KPH??

He didn’t think something might be amiss while he zoomed past every other car on the road?
Sorry, being stupid is not an excuse.

To be fair, that is the flow of traffic is Texas on all road regardless for speed limit.
