'Goat-free roads made me speed'

Posted by Steve Orme on October 19, 2007 11:03 AM | 

A Swiss driver caught speeding in a Canadian highway has blamed his actions on the absence of goats on the roads.
The man was caught driving at 161 km/h (100mph) in a 100 km/h (60mph) zone.
A traffic officer's notes said the Swiss driver had said he was taking advantage "of the ability to go faster without risking hitting a goat".
I suggest you try speeding in Switzerland and claiming you were encouraged by an absence of Mounties on the roads.
Or litter.
Or excitement.
