"Legal Justification" for speeding?

I got pulled over today for speeding, 70 in a 55. When the officer came to the window he asked me if I had any "legal justification" for driving so fast. I had to chuckle, and told him "no, not any legal reason...I guess I just wasn't paying attention." I got lucky, he didn't give me a ticket. But I thought this was kinda funny, never had a cop ask me that before.

Some people do have a legal reason to speed, when it is a life or death matter. By all the officer knew, you could have had a relative in the emergency room. Policeman can be nice at times.
You were lucky though, I got a speeding ticket 2 years ago and I am still waiting for the third year to roll around for my insurance to go back down. I was going 79 in a 65.
If force ain't work'n... Your not use'n nough of it.
I know the spelling is bad but guess what I DON'T CARE
Officer: "Policeman don't have Balls" "OOPS"

I see you are in Colo. We need more people from there to post on this link.

The gene pool needs chlorine.

That's a good point. I thought about that afterwards, but does a life or death situation actually make speeding legal? Or is it just something you can get away with under the circumstances. I know no LEO would give you a ticket for speeding if your trying to save someone's life, but is it actually legal?
My girlfriend turned on the disposal, and something zapped in a light fixture (a junction), all the lights went out, and she panicked.
I got theere fast, but was asked about speeding and running two lights on my way onto the Vine Street Expressway.
I still made it in about eight minutes.
Well lets see!
I think a cigarette hot box burning it's way thru the crouch of my pants and drawers would do it for me!
