"I can't drive 55....."
Sammy Hagar told me (while encountering him at a Nashville establishment) that every time he's been to traffic court since that video he's always been let off (usually on the condition of providing autographs for the judge's family and friends). How cool is that? Once he realized he was pushing luck too far he improved his driving habits, though (I think) his song had almost as much influece toward raising the speed limits as the lady mentioned in the above post.
