Abstract

The results of a study of the excuses offered by 1050 drivers who were apprehended for speeding offences in Western Australia are described. The excuses did not show the expected variation between being apprehended by a patrol vehicle and by a radar detection unit, suggesting that it is not really the method of apprehension that is being objected to by drivers. The excuses offered did not suggest any "valid" reasons why the driver had been speeding.
