This sticker allows doctors to speed in California

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:43:15 GMT

A little-known part of California's vehicle code gives doctors the legal right to break speeding laws - so long as they are responding to an emergency.Vehicle Code 21058 allows a physician responding to an emergency call to be exempt from some of the laws governing speed limits.According to the California Medical Association, the exemption only applies when traveling to emergencies, when driving on freeways - and does not allow the driver to ignore other traffic rules (such as stop signs or HOV lanes).The doctor exemption also does not allow them to be unsafe on the roads - even when speeding.

Tesla lawyer asks San Francisco jury to cut $137 million award in race discrimination case

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:43:15 GMT

Two years ago Diaz won a $137 million verdict, one of the largest jury awards in US history in a discrimination lawsuit by an individual.
