Sister Tavoletta, 56, was at the wheel of the Ford Fiesta, and two other unnamed nuns, aged 65 and 78, were passengers when police pulled them over.

When stunned officers asked why they were speeding, Sister Tavoletta said: "We had heard how the Pope had fallen over and we were on our way to make sure he was OK."

Pulled over for speeding in Italy? That must be a first. Even the police speed over there.

I was just thinking the same thing.... they don't have speed Limits such as don't go faster then posted speed, Italy has speed reiquirements -- you can't go any slower then posted speed. I guess if they saw several nuns in a car they knew they would pull over.... but who knew a ford fiesta could maintain that speed?!?! Maybe police were just trying to do the nun a favor?

It's okay for a cop to pull over a nun for speeding but he shouldn't get in the habit.
