I get it. The reason I point out the distinction is that for the protection of innocent people it is necessary to draw lines just like we do with anything else. Speeding, moving freight, boating, etc. But sometimes you need to get somewhere and the rules as well as the reason for the rules are secondary to the pragmatic realities you're facing. You've got a child bleeding out in the back seat you speed to the hospital laws be damned.
