Sometimes you really have to go.

That was why a driver pulled over by Ontario provincial police in Aurora was going 182 km/h on Highway 400.

“But officer, I have to pee,” OPP Highway Safety Division tweeted on Friday. “The excuse didn’t work.”

The motorist was charged with stunt driving, and OPP suspended their licence for 14 days, along with a 30-day vehicle impound.

Besides the driver’s bladder, no one was harmed in the speeding incident.
