Once I was in a remote national park with a friend of mine, and they started having stroke-like symptoms.
We talked to the medic on site, and luckily the symptoms seemed to be abating. The medic (also a LEO), told me to drive my friend to the nearest hospital, 45 minutes away. The medic said, "Drive fast, but not too fast. Unless the symptoms get worse, in which case drive REALLY fast."
The symptoms did not get worse, gratefully. But this is a case where a LEO was telling me when it would be a good time to speed.
