Driver caught jumping red light to get kids Nando's
You may be familiar with the excuse 'I needed the toilet' or 'I was running late', yet you probably haven't heard what one Perth parent told police officers when caught running a red light on Monday evening.
The driver of the vehicle told Western Australia police their Hyundai had breached traffic regulations all because they were 'in a rush to get the kids Nando's.'
Not only did the lawbreaker have to fork out for dinner but was also hit with a fine of $300 as well as receiving six demerit points for their traffic offence.
The ludicrous yet comical ticket WA Police Traffic handed out to one driver, who blamed their kids' hunger for the offence
The hunger-driven incident happened at 6.45pm as the car drove through Wanneroo in northern Perth.
The bizarre yet honest response comes in a long line of excuses WA Police Traffic have shared on Twitter.
On April 15, they posted an image of a speeding ticket where the defendant offered a cryptic explanation.
'I'm doing it for my mum. It's a long story,' it read.
Another speeder's ticket didn't help his own cause when claiming to police he thought he was 'doing 109kmh' in an 80kmh zone after originally being clocked at 125kmh.
