Speed Demon Given Creative Sentencing
When driving a Ferrari I’m sure the adrenaline rush you feel is as though are on top of the world. I personally wouldn’t know but Frank Rodriguez Jr., a retired Army colonel had that same shot of adrenaline which landed him a speeding ticket, community service. Obviously he didn’t get the memo that maintaining your speed saves you money on gas however; when you drive a fire engine red 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena F1 I doubt saving money on gas is the first thing you are thinking of. Caught driving 90 mph in Austin, TX he was slapped a speeding ticket and a huge fine. Mr. Rodriguez had no problems paying the fine but thought it would be a much better and valuable idea to travel to various high schools and teach students about safe driving! Now that’s what I call creative Sentencing.
