Default Caught Speeding Delivering Transplant Organs

Remember the poor ambulance driver who is being taken to court for speeding
whilst delivering organs for transplant? Well if you'd care to show your
support, you can do by following the link below.

Apologies if this one's been done already.

Was it on a motorway, "dangerous" A road, or built-up area?

There are situations where speeding is not acceptable, by anyone.

Motorway, A1 i think, and in the middle of the night IIRC - it was
definately very quiet.

Online petitions are a waste of time IMHO. You need real signatures for a
petition, not email addresses. I'll still 'sign' it, but the authorities
have a good excuse to ignore it.

IIRC it was on the A1, early hours in the morning, and only 104Mph, in a
Vectra. I've driven a vectra at an indicated 145mph, and they are a safe,
stable, capable car. Annoys the hell out of me this kind of thing.

If you want to see bureaucracy at its best see this one

I wonder if police cars have to fill out the same form proving that they
were on a 999 call when speeding/jumping red lights?
