Allow me to toss out a scenario:

A man, call him Bob, has a fantastic ability to detect the presence of new black holes within a three thousand kilometer radius. He also has the ability to consume and thus destroy black holes. Bob senses a black hole forming in the neighbouring town. The problem is, in order to consume the hole before it grows to be too powerful for him, he must drive at 130 km/h. The speed limit is 110 km/h. Now, what does he do? Does he obey the law, because there is no excuse for speeding, or does he SAVE THE PLANET by speeding at 20 km/h over the speed limit?

Answer me THAT, smart guy!
