Best Excuse For Avoiding A Speeding Ticket Goes Too...

[Mulva]

Not speeding but some quick thinking (and luck) got me out of trouble few years back.

At dusk, I see a mobile speed camera on opposite side of the road (they are unmarked in SA), so I flashed my lights to warn the cluster of 3 oncoming cars going in opposite direction.

One of those cars turned out to be an unmarked cop, who turned around and pulled me over. Asked why I flashed highbeam, I told him the first car that was in front of him had their high-beam on and so I was just trying to let them know as they were blinding oncoming traffic.

Not sure he believed me but he let me go without fine.

He'd seen the speed van, pretty sure he knew I was full of shit.
