I think that most police will tell you that if it is an emergency for you to call 911. Keep the person stablized until professional help can arrive. That way, the person gets the best attention and also you are not endangering that person, yourself, any passengers and other people on the road by driving too fast to get to a hospital. Face it, this will probably be a panic situation and you will not be making the best driving choices.

Afraid of driving, please help!?


One New Year's Eve, my daughter and I were rushing my granddaughter to the emergency room, and because she couldn't breathe well, I had on my blinkers and was going about 10 miles over the speed limit. A policeman put on his blue lights, I stopped and ran back to his cruiser and quickly told him the problem. He put on his siren and lights and led us to the hospital. Thank the Good Lord for that. The best way in an emergency, if at all possible, is to call 911. The personnel are trained to provide emergency care and to safely transport the victim.

Plz tell some slogans on road safety,traffic rules etc?


If your issue is that you are trying to get to someone (like at the hospital or something), it is still not legal to go over the speed limit. Just put on your blinkers, and proceed as safely as you are able, and pray that the Lord be in control of what is happening.

Where does the apostrophe go? Someones car lights have been left on.?

There is a fine distinction here that has not yet been made. It is a violation of the law to drive over the speed limit and you could be stopped and ticketed. You could possibly have a valid defense of justification if you broke the law to in order to save your own life or that of another. It is a fine distinction but one that I think this hypothetical illustrates very well. Of course, none of us would ever want to be in that position and the best thing to do usually is dial 911 if that happens. It is possible though that may not be the best course of action. Suppose a child was shot on the street one block from the hospital. I would pick the child up, put him or her in my car and drive as quickly as possible to the hospital. I think I would have a valid justification defense to a traffic citation in that instance. Waiting for an ambulance to arrive could have cost a life.
