A police officer in New Zealand feels that he has now seen rather too much in his job. The officer was on patrol when he overtook a man on a scooter driving with his underwear lowered to ankle height. The police officer pulled the scooter rider over to the side of the road, then asked him to pull up the underwear. When asked to explain the offence, the rider said that he was benefiting from air cooling on the exposed area, whilst in motion. The rider told the officer that he had ridden from his workplace along the road for 10km before being stopped. But as the offence had been carried out in a rural area the officer opted to caution the rider for inappropriate behaviour and also, for not wearing suitable protective riding gear.

  • Better excuses needed
    February 19, 2014
    A number of British drivers are now counting the cost for their feeble excuses for poor driving. One man was travelling at around 210km/h in his mother’s Mercedes, roughly twice the speed limit for the stretch of road, when he was spotted by police and stopped. When asked in court to explain his reasons for the inappropriate speed, he explained that the vehicle did not have cupholders and was therefore unable to hold his cup of tea. This was why he had to secure it on the seat, between his legs instead.
