Ever wonder where some stats come from?

I have not driven in several years, but I used to live in Pennsylvania when there was a bit of a scandal over a speeding arrest on the turnpike. The arresting officer uttered profanity and tore up the ticket when he noticed the offending driver was a uniformed state trooper and that the passenger was the governor. Since the governor was campaigning against speed limits, I figure he had the courage of his convictions.

Now I live in New Jersey where a few years ago the governor was riding in a vehicle at a very high rate of speed and crashed. Moreover he was not wearing a seatbelt.
