PITTSBURGH — Police officers have seemingly heard every excuse in the book when it comes to traffic violations, but a recent study by Insurance.com revealed the top five.

  2. I'm lost and unfamiliar with the roads.
  3. I didn't know it was broken.
  4. Everyone else was doing it.
  5. I'm having an emergency situation in my car.
