speeding

hi, hows it going,

i think i might have been caught going a little over the speed limit, but my girlfriend needed to use the bathroom, shes pregnant, and well i wasn't going to risk her health or the child, if i had to defend in court, what would they say

[johne1892]

Basically, tough, you shouldn't have been speeding.

If she was having a baby on the floor of your car you might get a bit of sympathy but not with that reason.

Depending on the offence it wont go to court (what is a little over the speed limit)

[ummmm]

It's not dangerous to need a wee in pregnancy so they won't listen to that excuse.

10mph over, i think, i was approaching or would have been a couple hundred metres short of the motorway

[RATTER15]

lol, nice try, hardly a life and death situation for the mother or the baby, an extra £100 fine for even having the nerve to suggest that one lol. Good luck :-)

Readig your previous posts I have a feeling you have got your name wrong!!!

Alex Ferguson said he had `The Runs` and got away with it.

hahaha, i might have, well for skill i got it right, for stupidity i got it wrong, but well mostly bad luck

I was caught speediing 37mph which is not a lot over the limit until it was pointed out that if you hit someone at 30 they live. at 37 they die

[top_driver]

true, it wasnt a town, though,it is literaly as the speed limit goes from 50 to 75 i would have been close to the 75mph zone at 60mph

[webbo3]

Where is there a 75 mph speed limit in the uk, the motorway speed limit is 70 mph.

They'd say "Pay Up" thy won't accept any excuses, believe me.

You were commiting an offence and it wasn't a life or death situation, in their eyes.

true, but im not completely convinced i was caught, thinking about it, there was a car to my left blocking my reg,,, i think, and there was no flash, it was at night, i'll jjust say i had the runs myself, ha

[Jemisa]

Thats still no excuse to them.
Chances are that you'll be ok. Lots of speed camera's have been switched off (Councils are trying to save money) if you didn't see a flash then ten to one you'll be ok. Forget It.
Congratulations on the baby news by the way.

There is a very old law that states, that a female can relive herself anywhere providing she is pregnant but that does not justify you speeding, you should have found somewhere or used the side of the road Top Driver.

Mind you, Sir Alex Ferguson got off a speeding rap saying he needed the loo - but then he could afford a special lawyer.
