Slowest police chase on record?

Nobody likes a stereotype, but a West Virginian man’s actions a couple of weeks ago kind of proved that some residents of the Southern States really are hicks.

Michael Ginevan, 39 years of age, attempted to flee from a police officer who tried to pull him over. Ginevan was driving a strange vehicle indeed. It was a lawnmower with a case of beer attached to the front of it.

Sherrif’s deputy JH Jenkins managed to catch up with the unruly lawnmower driver while on foot. It must have been a strange police chase indeed!

Oh the Irony!

A three-time Formula One champ has been forced to take driver’s-education classes in his native Brazil after his license was revoked following too many traffic violations.

Nelson Piquet lost his license in June after racking up speeding and parking tickets.

“I think we have to pay for our mistakes,” he said. “It’s not even just a speeding thing. I got tickets for all kinds of reasons.”

Piquet won titles in 1981, 1983 and 1987.
