If the argument is that a fineable offence is a fineable offence, then there is no exception based on a perceived emergency.
If the argument is that speeding is a danger, thus should be punished according to the law, putting a vulnerable life in harms way should probably face an even stricter penalty.
The driver mildly speeding through the parkway is less likely emotionally charged and navigating through city traffic with the distraction of a medical emergency on board. That’s what ambulances are for.
If the argument is that the situation in which speeding might be acceptable is at the discretion of the driver and the police officer, well you’re right back to where you started.
*Im not saying I believe this, just pointing out that ‘discretion’ is a thing for a reason.
