There's no excuse for speeding - you put other peoples lives at risk, as well as your own, and you also risk hefty fines.
But according to a teeen in Canada, breaking the speed limit wasn't really a choice. According to the unnamed youngster, he'd just been out enjoying some spicy hot wings and was on his way home, when the urge overtook him and he realised he really quite desperately needed the toilet.

It seems like the adrenaline took over because the 16-year-old was caught by police doing 105mph (170 kilometers an hour).
Driving a Chevrolet Camaro in Manitoba, Canada, the kid was apprehended by a police officer, who asked him the reason behind him being so bloody keen to get home.
A Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesman explained: "This 16-year-old's excuse for going 170 km/h in a Camaro?
"'Too many hot wings & needed a bathroom.'"
But the police officer who clocked him was having absolutely none of it. Canadian police slapped the poor kid with a fine, charging him $966 Canadian dollars (approx £571) for the speeding. Not only that, but the kid was driving without adult supervision - all while still needing the loo?

In Canada, depending on which licence the driver has, you're not usually allowed to drive without the supervision of someone who is at least over the age of 18. This then cost the boy another $203 Canadian dollars (approx £120).
It probably would have been cheaper to get the car's upholstery dry cleaned. Or stop at a service station.
Of course, the good people of Twitter haven't taken it too seriously:
I'm sure he'll never make the mistake of ordering hot wings from the same restaurant again.
