A towel, or even a good hair blower might have been better options for this driver in London, Ont.
Police say an officer operating a radar gun clocked a car going 107 kilometres an hour in a 50 kilometre an hour zone.
Traffic Sergeant Tom O’Brien says the man told the officer he was going fast because he just washed the vehicle and he wanted to dry it off.
The driver was ticketed for racing in the incident Saturday — a penalty that packs a $2,000 fine if convicted.
The car was also impounded for seven days, at the owner’s expense.
O’Brien jokes that the car should be dry by then. :laugh3:
