Sammy Hagar Still Can't Drive 55

04/04/2011
. (Gibson) In a recent interview with Spinner.com, Sammy Hagar revealed that his solo hit, "I Can't Drive 55," has not made him a target over the years for radar-gun-happy cops, as one might suppose. In fact, the Red Rocker's reputation as a fast driver has even gotten him off the hook with the fuzz.

"I've got nice cars and I love to drive fast," he said. "Listen, I was pulled over recently doing about 100 miles per hour. I roll down the window, and the cop puts his head in, shoves the radar gun right in my face, and it's blinking '55.'

"He pulls his helmet off, and he's just smiling at me. He's a fan and his buddies told him to keep an eye out for me. He was going off singing 'I Can't Drive 55.' I shook his hand, and I was out of there." more on this story
