well i can't say i have not use'd my fair share of odd excuses with the local law enforcement however i some how think it would be plain stupid if they were to ask why i was doing 140mph and i reply'd with ( Oh is it not legal officer ? my friend told me ........ )
would more than likely end up with a reply of ( well if your friend told you to jump off a bridge ect....
will give it a miss of course but thought it was worth asking
