Al Gore Gets Speeding Ticket on Oregon Coast

This is priceless:

ASTORIA, Ore. -- Former Vice President Al Gore was cited for speeding as he drove a rented car to visit family on the coast, authorities said.

Gore, who was alone, was issued a $141 ticket for driving 75 mph on state Route 26 in the northwest corner of the state, police said. The speed limit is 55.

Here's a PDF of the ticket. Thanks Barney for the tip. He originally sent me a link to the story over on KGW.com, but BugMeNot appears to be down right now, so I can't read the story there. So KGW, you just lost some traffic to your competitor because of your registration forms. Congrats.

Looks like BugMeNot.com is dead. (http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2004_08_19_index.html#109293015594599267)

It's possible that someone hacked into them and killed them, but from what I have been reading, it sounds like they were taken down. Maybe one of the news sites decided enough was enough.

As to the Al Gore thing, is this really a problem? Is Mr. Gore not allowed to be human because it was a Vice President at one point in his life?

The question here is will he pay the ticket, or will he have the ticket changed to a non-moving violation?

Oh, he's human, I know that, and this just shows it.
