Parramatta Road, Sydney: Man’s shocking excuse after being stopped driving twice the speed limit

Parramatta Road, Sydney: Man’s shocking excuse after being stopped driving twice the speed limit

An Australian driver told police he needed to go to the toilet when he was pulled over at almost twice the speed limit.

The man’s white Subaru was stopped by NSW Police travelling at 111km/h in the 60km/h zone on Parramatta Road, Burwood, Sydney at 11.20pm on Friday, June 28.

When NSW Traffic and Highways Police stopped the man, the driver told them he needed to use the toilet.

But the man’s reasons were not enough to convince the police, who fined him $2,764 for speeding on a clearly marked stretch of road.

The impatient driver also had his license suspended for six months.
