F1 star Michael Schumacher was caught speeding off the track near his hometown of Kerpen, Germany. Driving his Audi Cabriolet, Schumacher was fined 75 euros ($107 USD) and received three points on his license.

Schumacher was pulled over in a 100kmh (62 mph) zone going 140kmh (87 mph) according to German media.

“I’m really sorry, it is out of character for me. Speeding is for the race tracks only,” he told German newspapers.

While that was really genuine of him to say - we feel if you’re Schumacher, you should’ve been caught going at least 187 mph.

Yeah but that's Ontario, in Germany when the sign says 100, it is probably a road where 100 is more reasonable (eg most 100 zones in Ontario should really have a 130 or even 140 out in the sticks sign)

Still if you got busted in Ontario doing 140 it sure would cost you a helluva lot more than 75 EUR

Ontario... where even garbage trucks can get charged for street racing.
