>>NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was ticketed for careless and reckless driving in North Carolina on Tuesday, according to a newspaper report.
Busch was cited for careless and reckless driving after deputies said they clocked him doing nearly three times the posted speed limit, according to the Statesville Record and Landmark. Police said they clocked Busch's yellow sports car at 128 mph in a 45-mph zone.
According to the newspaper, the car was a Lexus LFA sports car, a two-seat sport coupe produced as a concept car and production model. Busch allegedly told the officer the car was on loan to him from the manufacturer.
The officer, Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Chris Stone, told the paper he asked Busch why he was driving so fast. “He said, ‘This is just a toy,’” Stone told the paper.
According to the Statesville Record and Landmark, officers said it is standard procedure to cite and release a person rather than arresting them and requiring a bond to be posted.
“A bond is an assurance you will appear in court,” Sgt. Darren Campbell said. “He had ID and lived in the area so there was no need for a bond.”
There is a chance Busch, who was stopped between the towns of Troutman and Mooresville, could lose his driver's license.
According to the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles handbook, a driver's license "will be revoked for at least 30 days" if a driver is convicted of driving any vehicle more than 15 mph over the speed limit. A valid state-issued driver’s license is not required to compete in NASCAR.<<
I don't care who you are...you don't tell a cop that's just pulled you over, "This is just a toy" after doing *almost 100 mph* OVER the speed limit.
Kyle thinks he can get away with anything, I guess, and the rules for everyone else don't apply to him.
