A Swiss driver was caught traveling 161 kilometers (100 miles) per hour on Canada's busiest highway. The driver said that he thought it would be alright to go fast because he wasn't likely to hit a goat.
It seems reasonable to me, but can you think of a better excuse?

Some people outside of the UK are not getting this, the idea is that you come up with another ridiculous excuse.

"I'm sorry Officer but last week my wife ran off with a policeman.
When I saw you behind me I was afraid you were bringing her back!"

"Thank God you came along pi..officer, A guy was shooting at me from his car, he will be along in a minuet, I should put the pen and tickets away, time to draw that cannon from its holster. We should hide behind the cars, he's obviously insane. If I get injured, can I sue the police force, or you? Do you think it safer for me to go?" Worked for me in Arizona! Speed does'nt kill, bad drivers kill. I have often driven at 175mph . I have not had an accident in 35 years of driving fast, or what bad drivers call too fast. Bad drivers are those that hold up all the traffic, making thousands of quicker thinkers and better drivers have to overtake them. Slow drivers cause accidents and road rage, they should all be made to drive a rally car through a snow and ice covered forest section at 140 mph, that would wake the twats up.

No excuse it is easier to just nod, then it is over and you are not on show for too long as other cars go past with the drivers smirking, besides which the police around here do not take any notice of excuses so why waste your time and theirs.

Shout to the police officer out of the window whilst he is driving parallel to you,
" I am a rich lord worth millions, a man has hidden a bomb somewhere in my car and if I drop below 100 miles per hour it will explode, he is demanding that I pay a ransom of 2 million pounds or he will not disarm it!"
This may get you a police escort for a couple of hundred miles, havent figured out how you would stop though!

What continuously worked maximum acceptable for me is in basic terms possessing as a lot because the truth i became rushing. in basic terms tell him I in basic terms flat became no longer taking word of how briskly i became going and, my speed crept up on me. . Gotten out of further tickets like that than attempting some type of lame excuse.

Twice I have been stopped for speeding and both times, told the officer when he came to the window that i'm pregnant (you can't see that i'm only a size 10 from a car window) and i was so desperate for the loo, i just floored it to try and get home/to the nearest toilet.
They weren't quite sure what to do and just let me go!
That, and having perky D's, blonde hair and very big blue eyes. No points or fines for me!! x x x

He may be telling the truth. For me, I try not to speed, but if I do and get caught I smile, laugh and say "Ya got me officer" That attitude has kept me from getting a ticket for over 30 years now.

Simply tell them you are test driving the car as it is new to you and you wanted to see what it was capable of doing.
This should surely do the trick as with the UK police officer who. offered this as his excuse for travelling at nearly 3 times the legal limit.
It worked for him as he was let off scott free.
What a disgrace he is to law abiding citizens.

Say you are delivering a kidney for a organ donor who is waiting for a transplant! Or just be honest, " Officer, I just want to get home as quickly as possible because I've had a s**t day!" He may appreciate the honesty!

I routinely exceed the speed limit, but see no reason for an excuse. I do it because I choose to do it...I want to get to my destination more quickly than the law sees fit for me to travel.
If I get stopped (which hasn't happened in years, thankfully) then I have to take responsibility for my actions...hopefully my radar detector won't let me down...lol!

I'd call them to the side of my car and shout out that if I stopped my car would blow up!!!!or that there is a person who was in an accident in my back seat and bleeding profusely and if I don't get them to the hospital quick they will die!!
