- Were you watching how fast you were going? - I didn't know I was speeding. - I was going down a hill. - Speeding? - I didn't see the sign. - I don't think so. - But nobody else is on the road. - My foot fell asleep. - I got to pick up my kids at day care. - Is it because I'm driving a red car? - I didn't see you. - My wife's going into labor, sir. - I-I didn't know. I was looking at a different gauge. - I'm not really from around here. - Something must be wrong with the speedometer. - Trust us, we've heard it all. Now hear this: extra speed enforcement is on Minnesota roads. There's no excuse for speeding. - But I always go this fast.
