resopalrabotnick Posted October 12, 2007 CID Share Posted October 12, 2007 A Swiss man caught speeding on a Canadian highway has blamed his actions on the absence of goats on the roads. The man was caught driving at 161 km/h (100mph) in a 100 km/h (60mph) zone. A traffic officer's notes said the Swiss driver had said he was taking advantage "of the ability to go faster without risking hitting a goat". Canadian police spokesman Joel Doiron said he had never found a goat on the highways of eastern Ontario in his 20 years of service. "Nobody's ever used the lack of goats here as an excuse for speeding," Mr Doiron told the AFP news agency. "I've never been to Switzerland, but I guess there must be a lot of goats there," he said. The driver was ordered to pay a fine of C$360 ($330; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blako Posted October 12, 2007 CID Share Posted October 12, 2007 LOL its the goats fault, officer. United States history when trains frequently stoped to let 10's of thousands of bison cross the railroad tracks. One train waited for over 5 hours to let the heard pass.
