All was going well right up to the point in which he was pulled over for doing 170mph. When the officers asked the man why he was going that fast, he told them that he just really needed to get away from the wife and kids for a few and thought a nice drive on the empty highways would do the trick.

Officers explained that even though the roads aren’t filled with motorists, going 170mph is never a good idea. They also reminded the man that only people required to go somewhere on an essential journey should be on the road. Getting away from the wife and kids is not considered an essential journey.
