How would have handled this pregnant woman and speeding?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) April 1st, 2012

I have heard just about every excuse from someone caught speeding. Stopped this pregnant woman for speeding 96 mph in a 70 mph interstate zone. Inside her vehicle were two small children wearing seatbelts. I asked her why she was speeding and she stated, “I am eight and a half months pregnant and I have to pee”. I had to make a decision of either issuing her a speeding citation and reckless driving OR giving her a warning and sending her on her way.

Question: you are the officer in this situation. How would you have handled it?
