I'm kind of enjoying the new Minnesota Department of Public Safety ads about the creative excuses people use for speeding.
I'm learning a valuable lesson, too, of course.
Using the Twitter hashtag #droptheexcuses, the Department of Public Safety is featuring some of its favorite speeding excuses.
Check them out below. It'd be interesting to look at some data on what impact these campaigns really have on driving habits and how long those effects last.
Anyway, feel free to chime in with your favorite. I like "I have five wood ticks climbing up my leg." Really? You took a count?
