    The Northumbrian road safety wotsit have just publised a list of the top 10 excuses that they have gotten from motorists who were trying to get off a £60 fine and 3 points on the licence in the UK ....it goes when you get 12 points in 3 years.
    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.

    Story Here . Sadly nobody came up with any excuse involving pervey girlfriends etc like yer man in Mayo who confessed to the guard earlier this year that she was " pulling the flute off him " .
