Kitsap County , Washington , had begun to crack down on speeding motorists. Here's a list of some answers they received when they asked the drivers why they were speeding:
* My gas petal got stuck.
* Don't I get a couple miles per hour over when I'm taking my grandchildren to the airport?
* I didn't know I was speeding because my lights were off.
* My speedometer is broken.
* I had a bee in my car.
* I've been drinking and I wanted to get off the road quickly.
* I am driving my friend to the hospital. He has alcohol poisoning. (The driver was also found to be intoxicated.)
* (After crashing) I put high test gas in my car and it caused me to lose control. (He was also found to be intoxicated.)
* I'm trying to catch that UFO. Will you try to catch it for me?
* I get 10 extra miles per hour in the fast lane.
* I'm wearing shoes that are really heavy and they make the gas petal go down more.
* My doctor gave me the wrong medication.
* I'm headed to a divorce proceeding and if you met her, sir, you would understand why I'm in a hurry.
* I just got my license back after having it suspended and I'm not used to driving.
