Now admittedly, Im a huge fan of AP, but if any of us were to be pulled over for doing 109 in a 55, it would be anything but a "very routine" traffic stop.

"got a little speeding ticket. I need to be more aware of the speed I was going and not let it happen again."

When you are ripping down the highway at 109mph passing cars like they are standing still, how are not aware of the speed you are going?

Cause he was so focused on not fumbling the steering wheel.

Him fumbling in a big spot (like the playoffs) may be worst that ticket!

LOL. I've been 160 in a friends car (scared to freaking death) and 115 in my own car (not scary when you have the control)

they really dont care about speeders on the FL turnpike.. and if you are going 80 you will be passed by basically everyone. I would love to get ahold of the Autobon in Germany.
