Car tax dodger blames Viagra overdose

As far as limp excuses go, it isn't just maths teachers that are well versed, after one motorist pleaded to the DVLA that the reason he had neglected to renew his road tax disc was because he had overdosed on Viagra.

The unnamed driver claimed that his unwavering trouser tent prevented him from popping to the post office to re-tax his car, something that didn't wash with the DVLA, particularly as tax discs can now be renewed online.
