English Original
A New Zealand man caught driving at more than twice the legal speed limit claimed he needed to step on the gas in order to blow-dry his car. Roger Daniel, 37, offered the novel excuse after he was nabbed traveling at over 120 kilometers per hour in a 50 kph zone in the northern town of Whangarei, the DominionPost newspaper reported. "I have a bad back and just thought I would do that instead of having to chamois it dry," he told police. The explanation failed to impress: Daniel was fined $191 and had his licence suspended for six months.

一名新西兰男子因超速行驶被抓，其车速超过法定限速的两倍。他声称自己需要踩油门，以便用风吹干汽车。据《自治领邮报》报道，37岁的罗杰·丹尼尔在新西兰北部城镇璜加雷的一个限速50公里/小时的区域内，以超过120公里/小时的速度行驶被抓后，给出了这个新奇的理由。他告诉警方：“我背部有伤，所以想着用这个办法，就不用拿麂皮擦干了。”这个解释并未打动警方：丹尼尔被罚款191美元，并被吊销驾照六个月。
