Excuses for Speeding

1. My brakes weren't working, officer, but hey what do ya know...they're working just fine now. 2. Do you mind, officer, I'm missing Wheel-of-Fortune. 3. If you'd be willing to look the other way this one time, officer, I'd make it worth your while...say, a rent one get one free coupon for Skippy's Video Galore? 4. I was just making sure that your radar gun was working properly. 88 MPH, you say? Yep, it's in perfect condition. 5. I'm sorry, officer, but I'm rushing my wife to the hospital. Where's my wife? Darn, I knew I forgot something! 6. I'm rushing home to answer the telephone. And the worst excuse when stopped for speeding: 7. The devil made me do it.
