He explained that in emergency situations, OB-GYNs often drive at extreme speeds to reach their patients, and the growing number of tickets has become overwhelming.

“We speed in order to reach our patients,” he said, suggesting that authorities either cancel the tickets for such cases or find a practical solution to address the issue.

The video quickly went viral, and social media users weighed in with strong opinions on both sides.

Online Controversy

Some argued against granting exemptions, pointing out that such a policy could be abused. Critics noted that emergency driving requires proper planning and careful regulation, and rushing on the roads can endanger the lives of doctors and other motorists alike. They cautioned that creating exceptions without clear guidelines might lead to more accidents and legal complications.

Others expressed support, emphasizing that all doctors face sudden emergencies in their line of work. They said that in urgent situations, flexibility should be allowed for medical professionals who are literally racing against time to save lives. Many users shared stories of doctors having to rush through traffic in critical moments, highlighting the high stakes of medical emergencies.
