A Swiss man caught speeding on a Canadian highway has blamed his actions on the absence of goats on the roads.
The man was caught driving at 161 km/h (100mph) in a 100 km/h (60mph) zone.A traffic officer’s notes said the Swiss driver had said he was taking advantage “of the ability to go faster without risking hitting a goat”.
Canadian police spokesman Joel Doiron said he had never found a goat on the highways of eastern Ontario in his 20 years of service.
“Nobody’s ever used the lack of goats here as an excuse for speeding,” Mr Doiron told the AFP news agency.
“I’ve never been to Switzerland, but I guess there must be a lot of goats there,” he said.
The driver was ordered to pay a fine of C$360 ($330; £175) for speeding.

PATS you’ve got it all wrong … this IS a serious post.
Look – just think about it.for a moment. If you were used to driving along at a slow and cautious speed, because the road was littered with livestock …. then suddnely one day ….WHOOF !!! …. they were all gone – isn’t it fair to assume that your speed would go up a bit ???
You wouldn’t be dodging round cows, sheep, pigs – or in this instance ….. goats.
I think that this bloke has a really good point and frankly he should appeal against his conviction.
