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!
I said PRETTY MUCH no excuse

That scenario clearly falls under the excusable category
