A father from Western Australian desperately needed to relieve his bowels, but because he was in such a hurry to make it to a toilet he put his foot on the pedal and was caught driving 23 miles per hour over the speed limit, the Mirror Online has reported.

Once the police caught the male and questioned him as to why he was travelling at such a fast pace, he simply replied: ''I needed to s**t. Kids have given me gastro.''

The man was given a $1,200 fine, which is the equivalent of £700, and lost his driving licence.
