Free speedo check !

Thinking of Greg's original posting: I do have to say that I thought with their long literary tradition, the Welsh would have been more creative than these excuses:

The list of top excuses included:

"I was trying to sell my car and the person who was clocked by a speed camera was test driving the vehicle."
"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 sick and I was rushing it to the vet."
"I had a dodgy curry and had to speed to the nearest toilet."
"An ice-scraper fell out of a compartment in the door and jammed the pedal."
"I picked up a hitchhiker who said they liked my car so I let them drive it. I don't have their name or address."
"My car was stolen overnight and returned to the same point. I didn't report this to the police as the first thing I knew of the matter was when a speeding ticket came through my door."
"A strong gust of wind pushed my car over the limit."
"As I joined 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."
The Go Safe manager added: "People can make as many excuses as they like, but the simple fact is that if you don't break the speed limit, you won't get a ticket."
