The Speeding Excuse

A cop stopped a guy for speeding.

He said, "Do you know how fast you were going?"

"I was trying to keep up with traffic," the guy replied.

The cop said, "But there is no traffic."

And the guy answered, "That's how far behind I am."

Explanation

The humor comes from the unexpected twist in the guy's response. He's not just speeding, he's so far behind he thinks he's still in traffic even though there isn't any.
