Drivers' Silliest Excuses To Get Out Of Speeding Tickets


It can happen to the very best of us. Sometimes, one can get caught up in such a maddening rush to get to their meeting, appointment, dinner reservation, etc. that they end up completely disregarding the speed limit. This disregard for the speed limit can result in acts of pure reckless driving, or maybe you're someone who ended up going just a few mph over the speed limit. Then from there, getting caught by a cop waiting to dish out speeding tickets can really just end up being a game of luck. These people tried to pass off some unforgettably silly excuses when they got busted.

Text - PressureAwkward · 2h Not a cop, but I had one laugh in my face when I was 19 and got caught speeding. I was doing 75 on the highway at night, in an area that has signs that indicate the speed limit is 70 during the day but 60 at night. I legitimately didn't know I was speeding because of of this incident when I was a kid... my dad was kind of a speed demon, and I was a snitch of a kid. One night on this same stretch of highway I looked over and saw him driving about 80, and I pointed out

Text - lookingforfreedom90 · 4h A friend of mine worked with cases where people appealed to get a ticket removed(dont know how you say it in english). He told me a story not about a speeding ticket but a parking ticket. Apparently a guy had doubled park. He got the ticket and appealed to have it removed. His excuse: He had diarrhea and had to run to the toilet so he didnt have the chance to park the right way. So because of his diarrhea he shouldnt have to pay the ticket. Needless to say the par

Text - Inri137 · 1h Not a police officer but I have a story about this: I was a physicist at an engineering school and the older faculty liked to tell the story of a long-gone graduate student who tried to get cute with a police officer. He was speeding (going some 20 over the limit on l-95) and gets pulled over, and the cop asks him why he was speeding, etc. etc. Being a physicist, he explains that the sudden cold snap overnight caused his tire pressure to fall and he was speeding because the f

Text - The cop, amused, asked if what he said about tire pressures and speeding was true, and the young grad student replies "yes, absolutely, I'm a physicist at MIT." The cop then goes back to his vehicle and returns with two tickets: one for speeding and one for knowingly driving with underinflated tires ("driving an impaired vehicle" or something like that). Needless to say this poor fellow became a very good example of times when intelligence is not a substitute for wisdom, and why it's poor

Text - VitaminThoughts · 5h I ain't no cop, but I think I saw it on tv many moons ago. A police officer was running a speed trap and when he pulled someone over, he walked up to their car and told the driver "I've been waiting for you all day," to which the driver responded "well I got here as fast as I could!"
