"Why were you speeding?"

[Iroczlover]

"Why were you speeding?"

- "I didn't know I was, because my lights are off."

- "I'm taking my friend to the hospital. He has alcohol poisoning." (The driver was drunk, too).

- After crashing: "I put supreme gas in the car, which caused me to lose control." (He, too, was found to be drunk.)

- "Don't I get a couple over when I am taking my grandkids to the airport?"

- "I get 10 extra in the fast lane."

- "My speedometer is broken."

- "Gas pedal got stuck."

- "I'm trying to catch that UFO. Can you try to catch it for me?"

- "I had a bee in the car."

- "I am late for church and don't want to go to hell."

- "I have been drinking and want to get off the road quickly."

- "I'm going to a divorce proceeding and if you met her, sir, you would understand why I am hurrying."

- "I am wearing really heavy shoes today and they make the gas pedal go down more."

- "I just got my license back from it being suspended and I am not used to driving."

- "My doctor gave me the wrong meds."

I had one when I got my car back after getting stationed back in the States after being in Korea.

Was in Georgia and got stopped for doing 65 in a 45.

Cop: Sir why were you doing 65 in a 45 zone?
Me: I thought I was still in the 55 zone.
Cop: Why would you be doing 65 in a 55 zone?
Me: Pure stupidity.
Cop: Most honest answer I have ever heard, here is your license back, be more careful and have a nice day.

lol I got pulled over a couple years back in the town I live at. I went to school with the cop so it was kewl.

Cop, tammy do you know why I pulled you over.
Me, For speeding
Cop why were you speeding?
Me, being a brain dead butt head like I am normall.
Cop, Let me see your information.
Me OK,


BY THE TIME i got home my husband knew I was caught doing 45 in a 25 lol but I was let off with a warning lol.

The last time I got a ticket was b/c I was getting my ass CHEWED on the phone by a girl. I got pulled over doing 84 in a 70. The officer asked me why I was in such a hurry, so I was just honest. I told him the conversation I was having on the phone was really upsetting me. In retrospect, I see that this was not a wise answer, but I was too upset to come up with anything clever.

Thanks I enjoyed those.

You know the officers here in Texas are too smart to ask me "why" I was speeding. I think they get tired of the answers people give. My wife on the other hand seems to always get warnings! Sometimes I think it's because she's prettier than me?!?

That's actually my excuse. It's not illegal to have a non working speedometer is it?

hmmm..... maybe I shouldn't have said that.
I plead the 5th

[TAG UR IT]

lol! If i see the rope....I'm going to pull you over just to see who you are!

I've heard some good ones. I love it when people try to blame something on the car. I say, "OK. In that case, I'll go ahead and order a wrecker for you. That way, we are sure this won't happen again....we'll just tow it to a shop for you." And the replies are pretty good...."Uh....wait a minute...."

Don't blame anything on the car. You will end up getting the ticket AND getting it towed!

Do you really want to know? Do you think a Judge will care if your spedo works? People try that all the time with trucks when they get bigger tires. The ticket still stands. Sorry....just being honest with ya...friendly advice.

It is illegal. I actually had a speeding ticket downgraded to a malfunctioning speedo. You can get a ticket for that also. So I wouldn't mention it. You can get a ticket for anything not working on your car that's important.
