Strange excuses for Speeding !
Discussion
Ive heard some strange excuses for speeding but this one made me laugh.
I had stopped a guy for doing 128mph on the M1 near to Watford and the case was heard at the local Court which was out of my Force area.
As i was waiting outside the Court, in he walked with his brief and i noticed that he was carrying a pair of Winklepicker shoes.The last time i saw a pair of shoes like this was in the loft at my parents house about 20yrs ago.
If you dont know what they are, the best way to describe them is.......imagine a normal pair of leather shoes.At the top of your big toe add on another 4 or 5 inches going to a point about 3/4 of an inch wide.
Do you get the picture?
If you still wear them then watch that my colleagues in the fashion Police dont stop you !
Anyway, on with the story.
I was wondering why he had brought a pair of these shoes with him to Court but i was soon to find out.
After i had given my evidence, he started to give his.
He explained to the Court that he had been wearing the shoes at the time he was driving and as he was driving a top of the range Mercedes he didnt realise that he had been travelling so fast because the extra 4 inches of Toe in the shoe does not have any feeling and with the car being so quiet , he didnt think that his speed was over 70mph.
When he explained this to the Court i couldnt help but smile and neither could the Magistrate.....he was banned for 6 months.
Outside the Court he smiled at me and said, "Well you have got to give it a go havent you".

Some people are so crazy. A guy (tosser) who used to live on my road got pulled over for running a red light (one in a long line of offences)
Law: Excuse me sir, are you aware that you just jumped a stop sign?
Him: No
Law: Well you did. Could you please explain to me what a red light means?
Him: Stop
Law: Good. Could you please explain to me what an amber light means?
Him: Get ready
Law: Okay, could you please tell me what a red light means?
Him: Don't know. I'm usualy well gone by then!
I though that (due to his very low I.Q.) it was very funny!
