Garda Traffic tweet driver's novel (and unsuccessful) excuse for running a red light

Nice try but no.

A driver pulled over by Garda Traffic last night tried to justify breaking a red light because his wife was expecting him home in five minutes.

Shockingly, his excuse didn't work and he was issued with a fixed charge penalty notice (FCPN). And, of course, the always on-the-ball Garda Traffic Twitter account shared it for our amusement.
