Speeding in case of emergency

As a mother of 5 I am offended at the idea that John Coughlin of New Hampshire thinks he shouldn’t get a speeding ticket after being clocked at 100 mph while driving his wife to the hospital. Although she delivered just minutes after arriving at the hospital he risked hundreds of lives including those of his wife and unborn child to get there.

If this situation was that desperate why didn’t he just pull over and call 911? Why did he wait until after the police were trying to pull him over?

I sure hope the judge is smart enough to acknowledge that allowing these sort of actions is opening a very dangerous door? If this happened in my town I would be at the courthouse holding the biggest protest sign against letting him out of paying the consequences of his choices.
