Gore, who was alone in the Hertz rental car, was zapped with a radar gun and clocked at 75 mph along Highway 26 where the posted speed limit is 55....

In fairness to him, I've driven that route many, many times, and it's hard to go under 75. Oregon's speed limit is antiquated--they are planning to raise it soon, but who knows if it'll actually happen.

It's Oregon, they'll probably raise the speed limit retroactively.

In spite of clocking 77 mph, 'Spotted Al' is not too swift.
