YOU do not get to dictate my speed! It reminds me of someone who posted a few years ago that he always drives in the left lane of 466 at 30 mph (in the 45 zone) because HE feels that is fast enough!

All I can say is that if my wife was having the kind of medical emergency described by the OP, I WOULD run you right off the road and into a ditch if you didn't let me pass, and I wouldn't even look back.
Thank you, I’d like to know what anybody else thinks I was supposed to do it’s not like I could pull them over and say please get out of the way, flashing your lights does nothing! I did with any panicked sane individual would do honking the horn waving my arms and hoping to God that people would have some common sense to understand that I am not just some nut job, it is an emergency!! Also besides the fact that right at the very end of Meggison Road sits the ER so maybe as I am writing this it will make other people think…It’s easy for people to sit and criticize, but that man deliberately held me up as if to chastise me and play the police!! Well you sit there with your sister or family having difficulty breathing in the seat and tell me how you would react???
