Ohio has laws against driving without a license, without insurance, reckless driving, driving without a seat belt, and refusal to yield to emergency vehicles, same as many other states. (I'm sympathetic to her not stopping until she was at a toll booth - it's good to have witnesses.) Michigan law regarding moving violations wouldn't apply to a driver stopped in Ohio, and Donkers claims to live in Pittsburgh - I don't see how Michigan is an issue except as the start of the trip.
She got 'three months house arrest', and she's complaining? Is this the same as probation? Religious belief has rarely been a successful defense on grounds of reckless behavior and it's had inconsistent success as defense in other situations of endangerment and harm, such as Christian Scientists denying medical care for children in their custody.
Let's see how Bill Janklow does with his reverse-Twinkie defense. I like seeing when people who bemoan the demise of personal responsibility fall on cascades of excuses for their bad behavior.
