Excuses

Any better?

My ex-girlfriend/boyfriend still has keys to my car and keeps taking it without asking. I didn’t report this to the police.

My budgie was close to death and I was rushing it to the vet.

I was in a hire car and the speedometer was in a different position - I was actually looking at the rev counter by mistake.

I was trying to sell my car and the person who was clocked by a speed camera was test driving the vehicle. (When the file was referenced, the car was over 50 miles away from the registered keeper’s address).

My son/daughter was ill in the back of the car and I was rushing to a services. (When the photographic evidence was checked, a female passenger was asleep in the front of the car and not tending to the child).

I picked up a hitchhiker who commented that they liked my car so I let ‘this person’ drive the vehicle. 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 notice of intended prosecution for speeding came through my door.

As I entered onto 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.
