It's a Girl! It's a Ticket! It's a Red Card!

Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Galluccio delivered a citation yesterday to a Boston couple driving in the breakdown lane of Route 2. The couple, John and Jennifer Davis, were avoiding bumper-to-bumper traffic attempting to make a delivery of their own: Jennifer was in labor.

I double-checked the rules, Mr. Galluccio, and it's official: you just got yourself Section C'd!

According to Sec. C1-5, obstructing the 'imminent resolution' of childbirth qualifies you for, yes, only the second red card ever handed out here at YC|RC. I'm sure you're so proud.

Oh, and the Davis are doing well, in case you were wondering. Charlotte Jane was born about 5 hours after the citation was issued. No word on whether John will appeal the ticket.
