I would hardly call driving while pregnant the equivalent of driving "impaired." And people in extreme pain drive to the hospital all the time because of necessity and because events surprise them in a way that cannot be planned for.

She had her husband take the wheel because the baby came out and she had to cradle it. The pain did not (according to the news report) appear to impair her driving ability enough to warrant your opinion. As others here have concurred, it was a highly unusual circumstance in that the baby came so quickly.

Based upon your opinion, both people who are in their 9th month of pregnancy and people who are in a significant amount of pain should not get in a car and drive, let alone drive themselves to medical treatment.

You're wrong.
