    I was going to say the same thing… I didn’t know they could even go that fast! However the drugs and speeding, meh … he’s a boarder line politician so i’m not surprised ;)

    I was thinking the EXACT same thing! I doubt that weed was the reason, he was probably so amazed that it was going that fast that he wasn’t really thinking that it was a big deal. If I was stopped in a Prius I’d talk my way out of that easily, since it’s an amazing accomplishment & one I usually wouldn’t have to worry about unless in a school zone.

    Goes great for his father’s eco-friendly stance though…

    Yes… my Son was caught speeding…

    BUT technically he was doing it in an eco friendly car while doing nothing more than consuming a plant….

    I rest my case.
