Crap excuses not to use for speeding

    My ex still has keys to my car and keeps taking it without asking. I
    haven't reported this to the police

    My budgie was ill and I was rushing it to the vet

    I was desperate for the loo and had to speed to the nearest public
    toilet

    An ice-scraper fell out of a compartment in the door and jammed under
    the pedal.

    I picked up a hitchhiker who commented that they liked my car so I let
    'this person' drive the vehicle. I don't have their name or address.

    I was in a hire car and the speedometer was in a different position -
    I was actually looking at the rev counter by mistake.

    As I entered onto the motorway, my car was dragged along in the
    slip-stream of a truck. My brakes aren't very good, so I had to keep
    pace with it.

  2. She's your ex, taking your car without consent is theft.

    Report it.

    I've had legal advice that this one could work.

    This happened to a mate, he was nicked at 97mph on the M4 in Wales.

    Needless to say, plod were not impressed with his story (which was in fact
    true, he had a bad dose of the shits).

    Went to court, got fined plus a 21 day ban. They asked him if he had
    anything to say, so he did.

    He left with a caution for contempt of court, a bigger fine and a 3 month
    ban. Silly sod.
