Berlingske Tidende has a story on how police often have a good laugh when they pull people over for not wearing a seat belt. They cite www.sikkertrafik.dk as their source, and while not every excuse or comment included is all that funny, I've translated them all anyway.
- It's not my car!
- But.. I just got a parking ticket.
- That's beacuse I'm exempt from wearing a crash helmet.
- It's because I'm too chubby.
- No way I'm getting a ticket for that, I got one last week for the same thing, and I didn't even pay that one yet.
- I'm not usually the one who's driving!
- My wife is about to give birth. (Man alone in the car)
- Who.. me?
- Darn it. And I forgot my driver's license too.
- It's because it's so tight.. and I have to pee.
- My aunt was just admitted to hospital!
- No, I'll turn 79 next time, so I'm not sure there's much use to it.
- WHERE does it say so?
- But.. I live right over there.
- Really? I had it on when I left home.
- I'm terribly claustrophobic.
- Goddammit! That's the second time this month.
- My wife turned me in, right?
- My doctor won't let me.
- There wasn't time for it.
- I'm from a time when cars didn't have seat belts. (Older gentleman)
- But.. that's because the hormones are racing around inside of me.
- There's a nickel that got stuck in the seat belt lock.
- It's because the phone just rang...
- I was just on my way home from the convenience store.
- It's not working.
- I don't have a driver's licence, and you know it's not my car.
- What are you doing tonight...?
- Come on, you can't get a ticket for that!?
- There are no seat belts in my car.
- My uncle is pregnant, I don't have to wear one.
- I couldn't be bothered. It's too tight.
- I know your boss.
- Are you in the same precinct as Simon?
And finally, the clincher..:
- But.. my t!ts are too big..
- It's not my car!
