Help! Speeding ticket!!

keava · 2012-08-27 07:49:55

Hi Please help! I got a speeding ticket from a camera - doing 36 in a 30. I am very heavily pregnant and was having cramps. Not an excuse I know but was therefore wanting to pull over ASAP, and wasn't paying much attention to my speed! So I'm guilty but should I inform the police and hope for understanding or just take it?…

I'm not convinced the powers that be will be too impressed with a driver who says they weren't paying attention.

This, if you weren't paying attention then don't drive. I don't want to be in a crash caused because you're having cramps and aren't focusing on the task at hand.

I understand you were trying to pull over, but if you keep getting these cramps is safer for you to hang up the keys until they stop for good.
