MIND over contractions.
20-year old Emma French was
so determined to pass her driving
test that even going into labour
hours before jumping in the test
car could not stop her.
French awoke at 4am to her
waters breaking on the day of her
test, but when the baby did not
show she decided to shower, get
dressed and take her driving
exam, booked in for 8.30am.
Fearing she would not be
allowed to drive if the instructor
knew, French kept her labour
secret, enduring four contractions
in silence during the course.
“Everyone was telling me to go
to the hospital but I had waited
so long for my driving test that I
was determined to do it,” she said.
Fortunately French, who must
be one fantastic driver, passed
the test in time to drive herself
to hospital and deliver her new
daughter later that day.
“I am really happy I passed, it’s
something I wanted to do before
I had my daughter to make it
easier for me when she was
born,” she said.
“One good thing about being in
labour was it killed any pre-test
nerves,” she added.
THINK you’re late for work? don’t
try this...
A US police officer in Miami is
being criticised by collegues for
putting the public at risk after he
was arrested driving a patrol car
at 193km/h.
According to reports the officer,
Fausto Lopez, was busted
weaving in and out of traffic by a
highway patrol officer, DJ Watts,
who said she couldn’t even
overtake the police car “due to
the unit travelling extremely
recklessly, in and out of traffic at
high rates of speed”.
The red-faced officer’s excuse
for his speedy trip was that he
was running late to his off-duty
job.
Lopez was later released with a
dangerous driving charge.
