This guy had a history of speeding and thought no one else owned a small sliver of the road they drive upon. I bet this Janklow character was the king of aggressive drivers and would cut people off because they only did 5 mph over the speed limit. If he got caught by state troopers/police for aggressive driving/speeding, he probabably whipped out his member of congress credentials and used the "don't you konw who I am" (wasn't a interrogative statement... but a declarative statement I'm sure) defense.
Here in South Carolina, we have a Lt. Gov. who has the same speed demon attitude as Janklow. Andre Bauer.
Last summer he was being pursued for exceeding 100mph. He called in to the Highway patrol HQ and told them to tell the trooper that he was pursuing "SC-2". He didn't get a ticket.
I ride a motorcycle...and I'm nervous.
