This happened to me back in the mid eighties. Was out with my GF of the time and her friend who was pregnant with twins, she had a month or two left to go. Am driving along about 15mph over the speed limit when the police car behind me turns on its blue lights for me to pull over. Don't think there was anything wrong with my car at the time but I knew they would do me for speeding. I told my GFs friend to pretend she was in labour and I jumped out of the car and ran up to the old bills car. They must have thought I was going to attack them or something as they both locked their doors and wouldn't get out. I shouted through the window to them ' sorry officer I know I was speeding but my friend has gone into labour and she is expecting twins, I am taking her to the A&E at Hillingdon hospital'.
They both looked at each other disbelievingly then got out of their car and walked up to mine. My GFs mate was in the back huffing and puffing and moaning as loud as she could, she was a great actress. Both coppers shit themselves and said to us 'follow us'. They gave us a blue light escort to the entrance of the A&E at the hospital. We then of course had to go inside and blag it to the hospital staff that she was in labour. We got away with it though, I think her twins were born about 6 weeks later. And i kept my licence clean too.
