Ticket

London Dept: It turns out that rushing in order to reach a bathroom is a well-used reason to drive at emergency speed. There s no indication as to whether this works in avoiding a penalty, or if a resulting ticket only adds to the woes of those already, ahem, under pressure, according to The Star. One London driver, running low on fuel, said he was rushing to reach a gas station. Another blamed his new car and the fact he wasn t used to driving it. A third said he was hurrying home to help his dying father. That turned out to be a lie. And one bold motorist explained he blew past a police cruiser, at high speed, only because he didn t want to bother officers by tailgating them and police in London, Ont., this past week released a light-hearted list of frequently feeble excuses motorists give for speeding. Its contents are instructive. Other excuses seem even less likely to generate sympathy from a ticket-writing officer or the public at large. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
