Ridiculously Elaborate Excuses that May or May Not Get You Out of a Ticket


These are excuses that we may or may not have used to get out of a traffic ticket. However, we must disclose that these convoluted fabrications may or may not have worked.

#01

Cry uncontrollably so your words become incomprehensible mumblings.


(If you are a woman, this is the most obvious reaction to getting pulled over. It just happens naturally for females. Males, you might have to work a little harder at and the outcome could be questionable.)

#02

Explain that there was no one on the freeway, so by law you thought you could go as fast as you wanted.

#03

Your cat is diabetic and you were racing home to give him insulin.

#04

You've recently had a head injury causing you to suddenly be color blind sometimes - especially when it comes to reds, greens and yellows.


(You promise to memorize the order of the lights for future reference.)

#05

You've just come from a daytime television show taping where you were picked from the audience, and hypnotized to speed home.


(You were actually hypnotized to park illegally, but there's no need to mention that now.)

#06

You’re violently ill. Filet-o-Fish was a bad idea.

#07

Your dead Grandma spoke to you in a vision, which caused you to swerve across four lanes.


(It was not because you were examining a suspicious stain on your shirt.)

#08

You forgot to TIVO "Dancing with the Stars."

#09

You have circulation issues, and your foot fell asleep. So... as much as you wanted to stop fully at that stop sign, you just couldn't do it!

#10

Guys: If the officer is a man, tell him that you were checking out this sweet blonde in a red BMW, and she was being flirty back. Then try and "pound it" with the officer like you're old buds.

#11

Girls: Keep a pillow ready in the seat next to you, and be ready to shove it under your shirt to fake labor.


(You should always wear loose clothing for such an event.)
