Would you still have the same opinion had it been you that had

Presumably in this case having to stop after the accident negated
the time saved by speeding?

Only because a dog was involved.


"...you must report the accident to the Police as soon as possible,
but within 24 hours. This is a legal requirement under the Road

Given 24 hours, there may have been time to get the patient to the
hospital and still report the accident.

This is all fine when one is sat at a computer keyboard with the

It's a touch harder when one is making split second decisions with
life/death implications.

My apologies -I'm sure that you're absolutely right. I had hoped that the
