Is This Speeding Ticket Appropriate?

[Clyde]

Man injures himself with a chainsaw. Severe bleeding. Son drives him to hospital at a very high speed. Gets a ticket after he gets his dad to the ER.

 

Appropriate ?

[TheDeuce]

If they gave them a ticket at the hospital, dude is a tool...

[HammerTime]

I would say yes probably. He was likely much more dangerous than someone doing 50 in a 40. I'm willing to bet most would let him slide.

[woodsrider]

If he kid hit a family of 4 killing them because of his wreckless driving are we letting him walk with no punishment?

Gets a ticket after he gets his dad to the ER.

 

Clarify for me...do you mean he arrived at the ER with his dad, and then an officer followed and cited him for his driving on the way there, or was he speeding after leaving the ER and the officer cited him after clocking him on his way elsewhere from the hospital?

I'd probably contest it in court and respectfully plead my case. Let the judge decide and that will be that.

To be clear it was given to the driver - not the guy in the hospital.

Ticket was given for the drive TO the hospital. Ticket was given a day or two later.

You'd hope for leniency in that case, but I'm not bothered by it.

Was he caught speeding by a camera? If not, I've never heard of a ticket being issued several days later.

Not appropriate. If the citation was given via traffic camera, the person who got the ticket should contest it in court, and I think a reasonable judge wold dismiss it.

 

If there was an officer behind the citation, then that dude is an absolute jerk. Again, the ticket should be contested.

I saw the thread title and didn't read a single post. No speeding ticket in the history of the world has ever been appropriate. EVER.

And I am willing to debate this harder than any debate I have ever been involved in. Speeding tickets are stupid and nothing more

than an easy way for money to be made off of us all. Speeding tickets are stupid, inappropriate and unnecessary.

 

Bring it. I'm ready.

Lots missing to this story. 2 days later? Did he call 911 and ask for help? How did they check his speed.

I'm guessing he takes it to court he gets dismissed unless cops followed him for 5 miles and he never pulled over and said please give me an escort or transport him for me.

Says someone who regularly breaks the speed limit, I'm guessing. :lol2:
