Top 8 Driver Excuses Used After They’ve Been Caught Speeding

1. “Google Maps told me the speed limit here is XX per hour.”
2. “I was only going with the traffic.”
3. “Well, the police car I was following must’ve been speeding too.”
4. “I don’t check my speedo. That’s what Google Maps is for.”
5. “I know speed. I wasn’t speeding.”
6. “Other drivers were going faster. Why don’t you book them?”
7. “If I knew you were there, I would’ve driven slower.”
8. “There was no one else on the road. I wasn’t harming anyone.”

Not every driver complains or makes up excuses about breaking the rules (or inventing new road laws on the fly). Thankfully, some acknowledge their indiscretions and look to improve their driving habits in the future — so we can all live safer on the roads tomorrow.
