10 most eleborate excuses
By13 April 2012
The 10 most elaborate excuses given by drivers caught by speed cameras were:
- I had passed out after seeing flashing lights in the distance, which I believed to be UFOs. The flash of the camera brought me round from my trance.
- I was in the airport's flight path, and I believe the camera was triggered by a jet overhead, not my car.
- I had a severe bout of diarrhoea and had to speed to a public toilet.
- There was a strong wind behind my car which pushed me over the limit.
- My friend had just chopped his own fingers off, and I was rushing the digits to hospital.
- The vibrations from the surfboard I had on the roof rack set off the camera.
- I had to rush my dying hamster to the vets.
- A violent sneeze caused a chain reaction where my foot pushed down harder on the accelerator.
- There was a suspected case of foot and mouth and I had to rush to see the cow concerned.
- The only way I could demonstrate that my clutch was faulty was to accelerate madly.
