Speeding

[ozzy72]

The Northumbria Safety Camera Partnership has released what it believes to be the definitive list of bizarre excuses for getting caught speeding.            
These extravagant excuses include alien hypnosis, low-flying aircraft, a dying hamster and bouts of diarrhoea. Here is the top 10:
1 - I had passed out after seeing flashing lights, which I believed to be UFOs in the distance. The flash of the camera brought me round from my trance.

2 - I was in the airport's flight path and I believe the camera was triggered by a jet overhead, not my car.

3 - I had a severe bout of diarrhoea and had to speed to a public toilet.

4 - There was a strong wind behind my car, which pushed me over the limit.

5 - My friend had just chopped his fingers off and I was rushing the fingers to hospital.

6 - The vibrations from the surfboard I had on the roof rack set off the camera.

7 - I had to rush my dying hamster to the vets.

8 - A violent sneeze caused a chain reaction where my foot pushed down harder on the accelerator.

9 - There was a suspected case of foot and mouth and I had to rush to see the cow concerned.

10 - The only way I could demonstrate my faulty clutch was to accelerate madly.

I bet there's more and funnier all over the country.  ;D

Here's some interesting facts.

In several areas where they have increased the numbers of speed cameras the road deaths have increased by as much as 20%. In County Durham where they don't have any speed cameras ........ road deaths have decreased by 34%.

I've used all those in Kansas.

Here in Italy, I have gotten away by saying that I had a bout of Flu at which the police man quickly said "Vai" or "go away" with haste and walked away. It was hilarious and I was laughing so hard that I was waiting there for 7 minutes sitting there on the shoulder...
