Blow Drying Excuse Fails to Save Speeding Driver

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A New Zealand man caught driving at more than twice the legal speed limit claimed he needed to step on the gas in order to blow dry his car.

Roger Daniel, 37, made the novel excuse after he was nabbed traveling at more than 75 mph in a 30 mph zone in the northern town of Whangarei, the Dominion Post newspaper reported on Wednesday.

"I have a bad back and just thought I would do that to dry the car instead of having to chamois it dry," he told police.

The explanation failed to impress and Daniel was fined $191 and had his license suspended for six months.

strange as it may sound, I do this all the time (never exceeding the limit of course for the pc among us) when I only have time for the local U wash it.

Dan, the best thing about your posts (not that the posts themselves aren't good) are your ever changing quotes in your signature. Where do you get them all? :rock:

Thanks! I had a job for a while as a website content manager. It required me to see a lot of websites and I stole the things I liked. Now, friends send me good lines because I use these in my emails too.

Robert Heinlein is one of my favorite authors. I like your 'Fortunes' quotes too.

One of my favorites: "When arguing with your spouse, if you find out you are right - apologize immediately." Robert Heinlein.
