I was trying to dry my car

Here’s something new for you to tell our friendly policemen when you get pulled over.

A Dutchman caught speeding in Amsterdam said he was speeding only because he wanted to dry his car after he had washed it. He was driving at 108kph, almost 50kph over the speed limit in his township.

    What a good idea to dry car, but really not recommended in my area, constructions going on all around and very dusty environment. You end up as a dusty car…

    A car thieve was caught by policemen. His excuse was that the car was parked next to a cemetery and he though the owner no longer has any need for it.
