| Man blames lack of goats for speeding |
| 2006-09-06 |
| From correspondents in Ottawa A SWISS driver blamed Canada's lack of goats as possible roadside obstacles for his speeding through the countryside after police nabbed him, an official said. The driver was caught travelling 161km/h on Canada's busiest highway between Montreal and Toronto on Sunday. The posted speed limit is 100km/h. “An officer stopped the car for speeding along a straight stretch of road and the driver told him he thought it would be alright to go fast because he wasn't likely to hit a goat,” said Constable Joel Doiron. “I've never been to Switzerland, but I guess there must be a lot of goats there,” he said. Const. Doiron noted that in his 20 years as a police officer, “nobody's ever used the lack of goats here as an excuse for speeding”. Police issued the man a $C360 ($430) fine. |
