    Basically, ask yourself a couple of questions. You were on the road, you saw the flash so you know that they've got a picture of your car. The only possible defence really is you were in a (genuine, someone is actually about to die) life or death situation.
    How is that a defence?

    Its not. And that was my point.

    It is however just about the only mitigating factor that would be considered at court, and as I tried to make clear, there has to be a clear emergency situation.
