It's wash and dry...not wash and fly!

Now, the article says his license was also confiscated then it says he was driving without his license present, obviously the story wasn't proof read.

A 27 year old should know better than this silliness.

Speeding driver was 'drying his car'

Reuters News Service

AMSTERDAM - Dutch police confiscated the car and driver's license of a man caught speeding who said he was trying to dry his car after he had washed it.

The 27-year-old was stopped in Amsterdam driving at 68 mph, about 31 mph over the speed limit, police said.

"Because he did not have his driver's license with him, his clean car was confiscated until he produces it," a police spokeswoman said.

omg ... Yet another fool bringing the Dutch average level of intelligence down

Atleast my dad isn't lazy, he hand-dries it

but we are very creative in finding reasons why we break the law....

We got a ticket in the mail this morning for speeding. After some thinking we concluded my wife was to blame, but could we have used the excuse that she was on her way to the airport to collect the complete UCP-team coming back from the Monaco Historic F1?

Does everything happen in the Netherlands?

I think everyone else except for him does it that way too.

That's actually kind of funny

[VtecMini]

Seriously, who doesn't do that? At my local machine wash it's an extra 70p for a Gold service with supadry. Nuts to that, I'll just get my toe down a bit more on the way home.

That sounds plausible enough. You'd get off with just a caution if it was me in that police force

Guilty, I've done that before. Even if you have the pressurized air blow on the car it doesn't remove all the water. Really, all you have to do is be moving, a quick 80 MPH blast on the freeway helps.

In most cases though you're just flowing with traffic...

but the police had no way way of knowing, the car was not stopped, just photographed, nothing to debate.....
