00:00The worst excuse I've ever heard for an offence is when I've witnessed a vehicle
00:03swerving between lanes and then cutting somebody up on a roundabout.
00:06When I've stopped them they've had a pot of sauce from a fast food restaurant balanced
00:10on the steering wheel and their excuse for bad driving was they didn't want to spill the sauce.
00:14The worst excuse that I've heard for an offence is when dealing with a motorist who's speeding
00:20told me that the reason he was speeding was because he was tired and trying to get home
00:23quickly. The most unusual incident I think I have dealt with personally was a gentleman who thought
00:30it was appropriate to take his mobility scooter onto a motorway with the excuse that it was the
00:35fastest route home for him. So the most unusual incident I've ever dealt with is when I stopped
00:39a vehicle to conduct a vehicle inspection on it. The child was in a seat but not a car seat. The
00:46father had actually strapped the child into a seat that you'd use to put a child in the bath with
00:51and wrap the seat belt around it so it was dealt with for bad offence. Probably one of the most
00:55common excuses is that they weren't aware that it was an offence that they committed. Members of the
01:01public can keep the road safe by starting at the very basics. Don't speed, arguably one of the most
01:07common and easiest things to fall foul of but also similarly the easiest thing to make sure that
01:14we're doing right. Don't speed, wear your seat belts, don't drink and drive, certainly don't use any
01:19mobile phones and make sure that we're affording the correct attention to the roads whilst we're driving on these.
