My wife brought this to my attention. I don't know how I could have missed it.

So some cabby who can't remember the rules of the road is qualified to say that MS was taking corners at "full speed"?? I take corners at full speed everyday. If the speed limit is 45, I do 45 if it is 25, I do 25. Maybe there was a little lost in the translation or inflection of the language. I read both articles, and all that was confirmed, unless I miss-read, was that MS drove and that the writer knows how to running things together. What was the cabby going to say, MS drives like a wuss?? If MS had really done something wrong, the police would be looking at him too for a ticket but they are not and MS would be out there bagging the guy. And I guarantee there are plenty of cameras to look at. As for passing in unbelievable places, maybe it was the middle of down town but there were no other cars around. Then, to being late to a plane, we have all been late, and I mean ALL, and put a little more pressure on the loud pedal. Let those that have black boxes that can prove otherwise start tossing, oh wait 914's don't have those. And finally, as for the "other guy", I just called my boss and told him I was not coming to work because of what that guy might do and he called me a wuss!!!(I generally drive about 100 miles a day for work)

Pure and simple, this was MS having a little fun with a cabby who is obviously a big fan. MS did him a favor and got him 15 minutes and got some good publicity for himself at the same time.
