Israeli Traffic Court rules missile alert no excuse for speeding on a highway

"... Knowing how to behave on the roads in Israel when the sirens sound presents a confusing challenge. This issue arose in a case recently heard in the Central District Traffic Court. A man was driving on the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway in the afternoon at a speed of 157 kilometers per hour, in a stretch where the speed limit is 90 kilometers per hour. The driver was arrested, and his license was revoked for 30 days. ..."

Court rules missile alert no excuse for speeding - Globes "The Central District Traffic Court ruled that the alerts do not justify driving at the speed at which the defendant was driving."
