You can’t fault this Canadian driver for using this excuse for trying to get out of a speeding ticket.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Manitoba shared the funny post below on their Facebook page that reads, “This driver’s excuse for going 145kmh?

The kicker in this post is the hashtag #AlwaysGotTheCopsComingAfterMe, so the cop who was also listening to the Crue is an actual fan and really social media savvy.
