An Ontario driver blamed a passenger's stomach ache after being caught driving almost 200 km/h.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Highway Safety Division shared a photo of a radar gun registering 192 km/h after a 42-year-old driver was nabbed on the QEW at Fifty Road in Hamilton.

192km/h - Driver speeding to get his passenger with a stomach ache home.
Maybe the speed was agravating the nauseau?🤔

Police allege the individual, when stopped, explained to Burlington OPP officers that he was speeding at almost double the posted limit "to get his passenger with a stomach ache home."

Unfortunately for this motorist, this excuse didn't fly, and he was charged with stunt driving, issued a 30-day licence suspension, and his vehicle was impounded for 14 days — adding a major headache to that pre-existing stomach ache.

It's just the latest ridiculous excuse motorists have attempted to pull off in hopes of escaping a speeding ticket, or worse.

At the height of the pandemic, an Ontario motorist claimed that they were infected with COVID-19 in a bid to scare away ticketing officers.

That same year, another Toronto driver was stopped driving 95 km/h in a 50 km/h and told police that he was late for a Raptors playoff game.

In 2021, a Toronto driver stopped going 82 km/h in a 50 km/h zone tried to convince a cop that he wasn't actually speeding, instead saying the car was speeding.

Needless to say, that excuse didn't work out for the motorist either.
