We were driving home for a big family Christmas when I was a kid when my dad got pulled over for speeding. He told the cop that he had to get back home before Santa came. He got let off.

your dad could have said he had thrush... it would be just as likely to work.

I used to drive a 25 year old VW Beetle.
No matter how fast I went the police would never believe it could speed.

Got stopped @ 3 in the morning doing mach2 in a 60kph.
With smoke still coming off the tyres & the smell of rubber in the air we back up about 100m to where the cops are standing and the cop says

"Have you been drinking?"
Mate - "No shamwari (friend in shona)"
Cop - "Can you get out and walk in a straight line"
Mate - "Sure but I am going to do it on my hands"

He jumps and and walks on his hands a couple of metres.
Cops pack out laughing and say "You can go"

Not advisable unless you have been gymnastics for a number years.

DUI and speeding in Zimbabwe are slightly different to the rest of the world.

Probably not. The best way to get out of a ticket is to do the speed limit.

Other than that, I think just being straight up with the cop works the best. DO NOT EVER ASK FOR A WARNING!!! That's stupid. Also you could say you were trying to get home before you fall asleep behind the wheel is good too.

If it's a male police officer, it's fine as long as you apologise (and wearing a short skirt helps).
