Speeding Toulouse driver 'was desperate for toilet'
A Toulouse man who was caught driving at over 100km/h in a 50km/h zone has defended his speeding by saying he “was desperate for the toilet”.

The driver was caught by the local gendarmerie in Toulouse-Mirail (Haute-Garonne, Occitanie) after his car was recorded going at over 112 km/h in a 50 km/h residential neighbourhood, reported
He was found to have 0.62 grams of alcohol per litre in his blood, and admitted having drunk “several pints of beer with his friends” earlier in the evening.
However, he also sought to defend his speeding by telling the gendarmerie that he was simply “trying to get back home so he could run to the toilet”.
And yet, speeding was only the first of his worries: the car was also found to be overdue for an MOT and the driver’s insurance was no longer valid.
The driver’s license was taken away on the spot and the man is likely to be suspended from the road for between three and six months. He is expected to appear in court soon.
The toilet-related infraction is the second to be reported this week, after a man in the Gard was fined €68 for taking a roadside toilet break.
