30 of the Funniest Excuses People Gave for Speeding

It’s rare to get away with speeding, but as some of these Redditors will tell you, it is, in fact, possible. For instance, one guy was let off with a warning after telling the cop that he “just wanted to see how fast the car could go.” Another got out of a ticket by informing a state trooper of the “10 percent rule,” which indicates that drivers are allowed a buffer of going 10 percent over the speed limit because of possible technical issues with speedometers or speed guns. 

Feel free to try your luck with some of these excuses, just know that not everyone gets away with putting the pedal to the metal — take it from the bride who was running just a tad late to her own wedding.
