A bizarre excuse for speeding

A taxi driver who was stopped by police on Friday decided to blame his speeding on his passengers.

And no, not because they were rushing him or talking too loud, but because the passengers were farting too much.

When the police stopped him though, the driver thought he’d be able to get away with blaming his three passenger’s ‘flatulence’ for him speeding.

In other words, their ‘farting’ made him do it.

Sharing the hilarious excuse on Facebook, Dorset traffic police wrote: ‘Just when you thought you’ve heard it all…’

It turns out (unsurprisingly) that his excuse didn’t work and he was reported for speeding and will likely have to do a speeding course, which is £110, or take the three penalty points and £100 fine.

 

I wonder if Karwa drivers could use the same excuse – especially if the passenger has dined at Rizks’ Emporium… Have you ever used a feeble excuse for a traffic violation ?

Mufti, I appreciate you my pal from the core of my heart. Why I like you because you also support the truth. Any body who supports the truth is my pal ....... .......... ........ Here I supported the driver because he stood by the truth & he suffered & he sacrificed ....... ......... ............ We need to give high regards to the taxi guy ............ .......... ......... It was passengers who were the culprits ............ .......... they caused the silent mischief .............. .............

In the today's rigid world you are fined even if you tell the truth ........ ........... ........ too bad on the police dept ........ they need to be considerate for an innocent person's genuine health issue. ........... Policeman is going to regret his injustice for his remaining working life .............. ............ .......

This unfair on the passengers part. They should have asked the driver's permission before the silent blast ................. .......... This how you hurt others even without uttering a word, without looking at their faces, that too very innocently .................... .....
