A helpful policeman's "disco lights" helped escort a heavily pregnant mother to hospital today.
A Waikato policeman was patrolling State Highway 3 south of Te Awamutu today when he "encountered a gentleman modestly exceeding the speed limit".
"Disco lights go on of course, stop him to have a chat," says a post on the Waikato Road Policing Team Facebook page.
"It was immediately apparent that the sounds coming from his lovely wife in the passenger seat combined with a large tummy that this was not going to be anything near routine ... yep, wifey was in labour ... crap ... What to do?"
"Follow me sir," the policeman said.
