Penalty points are pretty damn awful, but we have to accept them as a necessary accompaniment to using the roads.

However, if there's a way of getting out of them, then you're NATURALLY going to use it. Right? Come on, admit it. We'd all do the same. So it goes for Kit Harrington, who openly admitted on television that he used his knowledge of Jon Snow's fate to get out a speeding ticket and penalty points.

As Harrington tells it, he was stopped by a policeman in England who agreed to let him off if he told him what happened to Jon Snow in the current season of Game of Thrones. As you'd expect, Harrington blabbed immediately.

Here's the video in full.

WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM A BASTID.

No, but seriously, if we were in that position and we could have found out before anyone else, we would have done the same. Here's hoping that policeman doesn't get found out or, for that matter, let it slip before the episode aired.
