High-speed toilet dash lands Canadian in court
18 July 2005
OTTAWA: A Canadian teenager caught driving at almost twice the speed limit told police he had overdosed on a protein drink and was desperately looking for a washroom, the Ottawa Citizen reported.
Hayder Mobarak's tale did not impress a local judge, who gave him a whopping $C926 ($ 1.50 US) fine and banned him from driving for 30 days. Mobarak was clocked doing 195 km (100MPH) per hour on a road where the limit was 100 km/h. (62 MPH)
"I was going to the gym and I was taking a protein shake and if you overdose it's really painful. This is why I was rushing to the washroom ... I wasn't thinking, I was in pain," the newspaper quoted 19-year-old as saying.
The incident could cost Mobarak even money later on. An insurance company official told the paper that a high-risk young driver would have to pay $C8000 ($ 35.97 US) a year to insure a new car.
{Ed note: the money totals are a joke...  }
