Tough ****. Trying to get a ban waived "because of their job" is no
excuse, should have thought of the consequences of speeding ... If
getting from A to B is required you can hire driver.

Indeed for those in "high power" jobs surely a company supplied driver
would be better for the company. Able to work while traveling, no stress
from the driving, arrive fresher etc.

Yes, a luvverly thought, but how many companies would actually be able to
afford that ? And it's all very well saying "tough ****" about losing a job.
Have you ever worked in a tough competitive job where you are having to
weigh up the (fairly) small chance of getting nicked against not getting the
job done and incurring the bad feeling of your boss ? I would guess not,
otherwise you wouldn't be saying that. Yes, in a perfect world, she
shouldn't speed, nor should she have to, but unfortunately, the world that
we live in is not the black and white one that you would desire, and
sometimes, you just gotta do what you just gotta do, and possibly suffer the
consequences ...
