Default Nuns on the run at triple speed limit

Nuns on the run at triple speed limit - (From ABC News)

A Roman Catholic nun has been caught speeding at 180 kilometres per hour in Italy.

Her speed was more than three times the limit, and the nun was not travelling alone - there were two other sisters in the car at the time.

The nun told police she was anxious to be by Pope Benedict's side at his holiday home in northern Italy, where he is recovering from an injured wrist.

I thought it may have been a midnight exorcism run.

perhaps the person who advised them about the Popes fall muttered something about Godspeed?

The speed limit in the area they where caught was 45km/h. They where around 180, which is 4 times, not 3 times the speed limit. And I heard their lawyer is saying that the reason they where going that fast is a legitimate one.

If she gets out of this, I will hate nuns even more.

I'm suddenly having flashbacks to the early 1990's with Whoopie Goldberg and some other idiots pretending to be nuns; something about a bad habit.

I love how, even being a nun, she had no hesitation in lying to the police.
