Angela Couglin was ready to give birth to her son so hew husband, John, drove them to the hospital. He reached speeds of over 100 mph, but called 911 to inform police of the situation. The car was escorted by a New Hampshire State Trooper. No sooner than the baby was born, however, the troop wrote a speeding ticket to the family. He said, "Congratulations on your son but I'll see you in court." The nurse said that there could have been damage to the baby if he had been delivered any later. Was it 'right' for the officer to issue a ticket because they endangered the lives of others on the road? Is it justified to endanger the lives of others on the road in a situation like this (medical emergency)? A blogger on ridelust.com says that if he were in that situation, the pedal would have been on the floor. I agree.
