"Stung by criticism over his latest speeding incident," New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D) said he has "instructed his state police drivers to obey posted limits except under ëexceptional circumstances,í" the New Mexican reports.
"The latest speeding controversy involved a June 2 incident in which the governor's state police driver refused to stop for an Albuquerque police officer who noticed Richardson's 2004 Lincoln Navigator sport-utility vehicle going at a high rate of speed on an interstate frontage road."
