Nobody ever *has* to do anything, if you want to be like that...what's your point?

Oh, you don't have one, do you. Thanks for the [strike]moronicism[/strike] contribution, anyway...

Actually mate I think its your post thats moronic. His point is that you said you had to speed.

No you didn't have to speed. You had to leave earlier. Or arrive later.

No, that's just not the cfase.

One of my friends' partner was dying in hospital, actually. So we left when we had to and I felt I had to get there asap.

You may not think that's a good reason, but as far as I was concerned, it was something I *had* to do.

*Had* is a very subjective word in this context - as I said before, you don't really *have* to do anything, do you? You have to breathe if you want to stay alive - but that's not to say you *have* to?

So really, "I had to" is just opinion. if the person who's doing it feels they have to, there's just no argument that they didn't. They have a right to their opinion....Or not, according to you...

Well yes - but if you had to do it then you also have to accept the consequences of doing it.

You being in a state of panic whilst speeding makes it worse IMO. I am sorry to hear that your friends partner was in distress but that doesn't give an excuse to speed still. By speeding you are far more likely to cause a crash therefore causing many families distress.

I know none of us are perfect and we all go over the speed limit some times but people need to accept the responsibilites of their actions. I am glad you didn't get a speeding ticket but a ticket could have been the least of your worries if you had crashed at that speed.
