If you’re anything like most drivers you’ve been pulled over for speeding once or twice in your driving career. Speeding is one of the biggest causes of a Connecticut auto accident and driving just 5 MPH over the speed limit can lead to some very dangerous situations.
If you are speeding along Connecticut’s highways and roads there is a chance you will get pulled over and cited for your speed. If that happens you may want to explain your behavior to the officer who has pulled you over. This is a common practice and there are quite a few excuses that drivers often use to try to get out of getting a ticket.
The website carInsurance.com has compiled a list of the top excuses that people admit to using when trying to get out of a speeding ticket. Here are the top 5;
-
I didn’t realize I was speeding
-
I am late for work
-
I am speeding because there is a medical emergency
-
I am in a rush because I have to go to the bathroom
-
I didn’t know the speed limit
It is unclear whether any of these excuses actually were successful in getting the drivers out of getting a ticket.
When you are pulled over for driving above the posted speed limit it is important to be honest with why you were speeding and take your moving violation in stride. Do remember that speeding is one of the worst things you can do to cause a Connecticut auto accident.
