Nothing is perfect.
Breaking the law sometime makes sense. Think of a person driving his pregnant wife or a injured person from an accident scene to the hospital.
- tomp 13y agoThen that should be the law ("you can speed in such-and-such circumstances, potentially argued before a jury").
- ankitoberoi 13y agoAgreed, but my point still remains, even that law would not be perfect. You would always miss out something or leave something open for abusers, so, to some extent, common sense should prevail too.
- jasomill 13y agoHence judicial discretion and jury nullification. But the idea of jury trials for traffic violations is economically laughable.
- evacuationdrill 13y agoWhich isn't breaking the law, at least in Texas. You're allowed to speed for medical emergencies. That's why the police sometimes ask if everything's okay when pulling you over; if you're going to the hospital, they'll give you an escort.
