A motorist in New Zealand caught travelling at 74mph in a 30mph zone claimed that he was trying to blow dry his car after washing it.
Roger Daniel was fined NZ$300 and disqualified from driving for six months after pleading guilty to dangerous driving.
Daniel claimed that he'd just washed his car and due to a bad back didn't want to chamois the car dry so took it for a drive and watched as the water moved off the bonnet as he drove. He claimed that there were no other people or cars on the road at the time.
