I don’t understand. How is calling 911 while driving illegal? Hands free and speaker phones exist.

The article says quite clearly the pit maneuver was due to the frequent vehicle and pedestrian traffic near the hospital. They where endangering others. Potentially many others.

Why did they not call 911 and have an ambulance come? I know medical bills are crazy right now but speeding and driving away from cops is not the way to save some money. Why where they not on the phone with 911 while driving, would the cops not have been notified of the situation by the operator in that case?

Orville is definitely something special. Strange new worlds was good. Made me feel like I was watching a StarTrek show. Unlike Discovery.
