16-Year-Old Driver Clocked at 170 MPH Offers Unusual Excuse

That's a new one. 

Cops pulling over a driver tearing along a highway in Canada at a mind-blowing speed of 170 mph encountered a 16-year-old behind the wheel -- and a highly unusual excuse.

"Too many hot wings & needed a bathroom," the driver told Royal Canadian Mounted Police Manitoba after being stopped in a Camaro earlier this month. 

Driving rules vary by province in Canada, but 16-year-olds are eligible to drive with a supervising licensed driver for the most part under certain conditions. This kid didn't have one of those in the car either. Police added a $203 fine for that violation on top of issuing a $966 fine for speeding. 

Next time, skip the hot wings. As police tweeted, there's "absolutely #noexcuses for that kind of speed."
