Melissa Miller, 41, was arrested for reckless driving after officials in Fort Pierce, Fla., clocked her doing 100 mph in a 30-mile zone. She told authorities God told her to drive that fast.
God may work in strange and mysterious ways -- but does that include making a woman drive 100 mph in a 30 mph zone?
That's the excuse Melissa Miller gave cops who pulled her over early Tuesday after witnessing her speeding and blowing her horn near Fort Pierce, Fla.
When authorities questioned why she was driving so fast, she explained it was "because I was letting the Lord spirit [sic] guide me," according to TCPalm.com. and claimed she banged the car horn long and hard because of "the Lord telling me to do it."
The arresting officers didn't need the Lord to tell them what to do -- it was all there in the law books. Miller, 41, of Port St. Lucie, was arrested on charges of reckless driving and speeding, according to MSN.com.
Miller was taken to the St. Lucie County Jail and placed under a $375 bail, WFTS-TV reported. In addition to reckless driving, she was charged with violation of her probation for leaving the scene of an accident with injuries.
The bail may be a lot, but surely the Lord will provide.

federal regulations require that private health insurance plans include contraception services. The rule applies not to churches but to colleges, hospitals and charities that serve and employ non-Catholics. Both the Catholic Bishops and this woman feel they can just ignore secular civil laws because their imaginary god told them too.
Stupid Christians.
She looks drunk.
So, lets give this woman the benefit of the doubt, and give her money to start her own ministry.
Just kidding,....
...it's annoying that highly intelligent people believe a God, and a Devil, are in our midst controlling what goes on in such a divided World, and there is no "outrage" by them to realize differently.
