Matt Wood was on his way to Southampton Airport to pick up an 'unstable' patient arriving from Guernsey, in the Channel Islands, when he was clocked doing 90mph. The 27-year-old, who was driving an unmarked ambulance, provided evidence he was responding to a medical emergency but was still prosecuted in what he has slammed as 'embarrassing' proceedings. After receiving a notice of intended prosecution, he had to attend Southampton Magistrates' Court, where the case against him was eventually dismissed thanks to evidence he provided. Speaking afterwards, he said the prosecution was a 'complete waste of time'.
