The Humorous Side to Speeding Tickets.

On the lighter side of the topic of getting a speeding ticket, below is a list of funny and sometimes strange excuses cops have been given when pulling over drivers for a speeding ticket. These are all recaps of actual, real stories reported over the Internet from real traffic cops.

1. An officer in Mecosta, County Michigan tells the story of this motorist that was traveling 80 miles per hour in a 55 mile an hour zone. When questioned, the motorist explained that he was plagued by a bee flying inside his car. The driver told the officer that he was traveling at the accelerated speed because he didn’t think that the insect could fly that fast and would in turn leave him alone. I am sure this driver received a speeding ticket.

2. In Waverly, Georgia a gentleman was granted a pardon by an officer who pulled him over for speeding because he was in the process of adjusting his wife’s breast pump. Why he had to speed to make the adjustment is unclear. He was lucky enough to avoid getting a speeding ticket.

3. This story, told by an officer in New Tazewell, Tennessee, is true — believe it or not. The officer tells a story about a stolen car a woman reported as being taken from her home while she was physically in the house. She was surprised it had been stolen because she had an alarm system on the vehicle. Apparently later that evening this cop was on patrol, and heard sirens coming his way. However, rather than seeing an ambulance or fire truck, what he saw was a car that matched the description of the stolen vehicle reported earlier in the day. The cop ultimately pulled the driver of the car over and found out that the would be robber was deaf and wasn’t aware of the alarm. I am sure he got more than just a speeding ticket. When the cop reported this offense over the Internet the title he used was “Deaf and Dumb!”… get it?

4. A cop in Naperville, Illinois said that he usually will let someone off if the excuse given was unique, but in telling the following story, he did say that the driver ended up with a red light ticket and a speeding ticket. Apparently a young woman, who had just paid for an expensive brake repair on her car, blazed right though a red light when she had ample time to stop. When pulled over the young lady told the officer that she didn’t want to wear her new brakes out!

5. Last, but not least, our favorite incident was reported out of Finland, where someone actually told officers that they had been hypnotized into parking illegally.
