Check Out These 'Interesting' Excuses For Speeding In Minnesota

Anyone who has driven a car has probably broken the speed limit. Even if it's just by one mile per hour, it's technically speeding. Sure, a cop probably won't wait their time to pull you over for that though.

If you have ever been pulled over for speeding, what excuse did you give? Several years ago, I was caught speeding on I-229 in Sioux Falls by a Highway Patrol trooper. To say I was speeding was an understatement. I won't say exactly how fast I was going, but he wrote me up for "unlawful speeding" and I paid a $278 fine along with years of high insurance rates.

When he asked me why I was going that fast, I told him the car was "too fast." What's even worse is I was on a test drive. I was pushing the car a little too much, but I wanted to see what it had before I bought it. After handing me the ticket, the trooper told me that I shouldn't buy the car. I drove it back to the dealership and walked away from the deal, but not the car. A few years later I bought one just like it, but I drove it a little slower.
