got to be honest, if my partner was having a miscarriage, id of had my foot burried into the floorboards... and if the courts felt I should loose my license, so be it.. its not exactly a perfect situation.. but id prefer to be getting my gf to the hospital than tootling at70 to get the antispeeding warriors happy...

To be fair they caught me at 103mph after I slowed down, had they caught me moments earlier it would have been a reversal of the 0 and 3..

I think the fact that I slowed as the M'way went to 2 lanes showed my discipline on reading the conditions, if not my ability to spot an unmarked car in my mirrors...
