A man has been caught speeding at 129mph to ensure his McDonald's didn't go cold.
Man found guilty of speeding to keep McDonald's warm
Lee Rutherford was driving on the A189 in Northumberland, north east England, when he was pulled over by police for exceeding the speed limit in a modified Renault Clio.
When questioned by cops as to why he was driving at such extreme speed, he said it was to still able to eat his burger and chips warm.
However, he later admitted to providing a false statement and has since been found guilty of dangerous driving.
As a result, Mr Rutherford is to spend 20 weeks in prison and has been banned from driving.
He will also have to take a new driving test and has been fined £1,120.
According to the Metro newspaper, Rutherford's legal defendant, Kyle Patterson, told the court: ''His driving at such a speed was because he'd been to McDonald's and he wanted his food to still be hot by the time he got home.''
