    Need Help!!

    Hi, I was wondering if anybody new if there are any laws in place that allow underage drivers to drive in the case of an emergency. eg. if his/her mum was having a heart attack...

    I know it's totally not business related but I have to do an assignment, so I thought I would try my luck here!

    Cheers
    Matt

    The answer to that question i would have said legally a big NO NO but and this is only my opinion if the underage driver was just underage and can drive well on private land say a farm or such like and they can handle the vehicle well and i was having a very bad heart attach i would get them to drive me and worry about the legal issues after.At least i would be alive still rather than wait for the doctor to arrive and possibly be dead.

    Please note i am not asking people to break the law in any way but in a life or death situation what would you do !!!

    I would say, if you were having a heart attack who the hell cares what the law has to say? If I'm still alive after, I'll worry about the charges then. lol

    "If only I had my license, I would have driven mom to the hospital and all would be ok."

    Forget the law, act on instinct and morals, worry about the arbitrary legalities later. A few grand in fines is worth saving a life.
