Keep Your Foot off the Gas When Taken Short in Sweden
A court in Trelleborg, Sweden, has ruled that diarrhea is not sufficient reason to break the posted speed limit while driving.
The district court rejected the argument of a woman who said that she was forced to drive 53 mph in a 43 mph zone because she desperately needed the toilet.
As far as the court is concerned, the speed limit can only be broken in cases of emergency, which it defined as a danger to someone's life or to prevent a serious crime.
The woman was ordered to pay her speeding ticket.
