It was an excuse previously unknown to mankind. But that didn't stop a driver fined £120 for using a bus lane claiming he had only done so to avoid a UFO. The motorist told parking officials that he was 'forced' to swerve into the bus lane to avoid a spaceship that was 'hurtling towards him' in Southwark, south London.He told an appeal that he would 'never normally' stray into a bus lane, but that he had to take 'avoidance action' as the vessel approached.

The Betty and Barney Hill Abduction
Well, he wasn’t hit, was he? There you go.
LUKE!! I am your father.
10 years ago driving back from hunting with a couple of deer carci on the roof of my Crown Vic wagon, an enlightened bambist decided to weave almost into my car over and over again to piss me off for killing meat....
not wanting to get arrested for shooting the moron, I passed around 5 cars to get away from numbnuts....as fate would happen I did this over the limit and smokie got me on radar and gave me my last speeding ticket, to date. when I explaned what happened he gave me a sarcastic “right!”
whatcha gonna do.
I met my best friend in highschool, and we showed up late from a lunch period. So we had to report to the Nunn in charge of attendance. He wrote on the sheet as the reason for the lateness, “Chased by dragons down Broad Street.” That was 30 years ago. Weare friends to this day.
I’d blame it on Sasquatch.

why go through all that trouble with such an excuse, just say your a diplomat a a devout zealot of a foreign religion on the way to spring a terrorist free from jail and you have a suitcase nuke in the trunk —— guaranteed to have the officials leave you alone.
A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says,’ I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir.’
The driver says, ‘Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at 60; perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating. ‘
Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: ‘Now don't be silly, dear — you know that this car doesn't have cruise control.’
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls,
‘Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once !! ?’
The wife smiles demurely and says, ‘Well dear you should be thankful your radardetector went off when it did or your speed would have been higher.’
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth,
‘Woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?’
The officer frowns and says, ‘And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir.
That's an automatic $75 fine.’
The driver says, ‘Yeah, well, you see, officer, I had it on, but I took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket.’
The wife says, ‘Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving.’
And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket, the driver turns to his wife and barks, ‘WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP??’
The officer looks over at the woman and asks, ‘Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?’
‘Only when he's been drinking.!!’

I don’t think the Hills ever thought it was a joke.
Betty and Barney Hill are among the most famous UFO abductees. They claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials on September 19-20, 1961 near New Hampshire, USA.
