Tell me, Steve, when was the last time you were in active labor?
I cannot think of one road on the way to Inova Fairfax on which it’s really important to drive 35.
You’re just gullible. She wasn’t in labor, she wanted to get out of a ticket.
Again, this is the first I’ve heard that we all get to evaluate the speed limit and decide if it’s appropriate or not.
Nevertheless, 57 mph in a 35 mph zone seems like a problem even if it’s “not important” (in your view, at least) to drive 35 there. Plus, what else was the driver doing to indicate that she was speeding because of a perceived medical emergency? Was she using her hazards? Flashing her lights? Or was she just zipping along without alerting any unsuspecting drivers who were, well, expecting the traffic to be around 35 mph?
BTW, this woman wasn’t in “active labor” either. Her little visit to Inova quickly turned out to be a false alarm.
Hmm.
