Bizarre excuses drivers give to avoid a motoring offence

Police have released some of the excuses given to avoid the consequences of motoring offences. Here is a sample… Enjoy!

• One young driver stopped for not wearing a seatbelt told officers the colour did not match clothes he was wearing.
• A motorcyclist speeding said he thought in windy conditions it was safer for him to go quicker.
• One man stopped for doing 37mph in a 30mph zone said his speed was “slow enough” for his village.
• Another blamed their messy children for their speed, saying “I was concentrating on my children not spilling their food in the car.”
• One caught doing 150mph said they were racing to catch a ferry and another said he was rushing to get home because his dog was having puppies.

You’ve got to hand it to them… It was worth a try :0)
