"Dog ate my wallet," claims Speeder

A man who had his license already lost because of a drunk driving offense thought of a unique idea when Ontario provincial police pulled him over for speeding.  "The dog ate my wallet," the smart man told cops, according to the Toronto Sun.

The Dog Who Ate the Truffle: A Memoir of Stories and Recipes from Umbria
Well, if you are a police officer and someone tells you this, what can you do? Ask for an x-ray of the stomach of the dog? No, apparently you ask for name and date of birth, and you run it through the system. (The car belonged to the driver, the mother, so that the license plate a red warning on the driver's send.)  Driver Michael Macleod, 22, proceeded to the officer give the name and BirthDate of someone he knew. Ah, what a good friend! The pal he impersonated received the speeding ticket and complained, and the truth came out.
So is the Macleod license suspended for another two years. Let's hope that he stays out of the driver's seat of this moment, or at least not trying to make his dog seems like a imbecilic iron-stomached glutton again if he gets caught.
