PIC: Meath court hears worst excuse ever for traffic violation

A motorist in Co Meath may have come up with the single worst excuse of all time in Trim court last week.

Last week's Meath Chronicle carried the amazing story of Navan resident Morgan Carr's defence of a traffic fine for being on his mobile phone while driving.

Prosecuting garda Robert Conway told the court he saw Carr using his mobile phone while driving an oil tanker and moved to stop the driver.
