Excuse of the day goes to...

Officer - there's a family emergency, someone's having a baby or 'I need the toilet...?'

A driver in Australia was caught doing about 16km an hour over the designated speed limit and when he was stopped, he told the police that it was the winds fault?

Apparently the wind was pushing him?

A copy of the fine is now doing the rounds on social media and one twitter user even said, 'that's pretty fast for a sailing boat with wheels'
