‘Girlfriend waiting’ to ‘left stove on’: Twitter shares creative excuses for traffic violations

Delhi Police asked citizens to share their most creative excuses for violating traffic rules, and Twitter users delivered in droves. ‘My girlfriend is waiting’, ‘the dog ate my license’ and ‘I forgot to turn off the stove’ were among the excuses that drivers confessed they had offered on being pulled over by cops.

These responses came after Delhi Police tweeted its followers Friday and asked them to share the most creative excuses they had given after violating traffic rules.

And another made the police laugh with her justification for not paying the challan issued

"Sir aap jitne ka challan kaat rahe ho, usse kam ki meri gaadi ki EMI hai.. Ek kaam karo, gaadi rakh lo. No problem."

Remember the cop calling his 2 colleagues and all 3 having a good laugh before sending me off. https://t.co/F7ogvHdzaw
