If you don't want to be hounded by men and women lugging cameras, perhaps it's best not to drive around in an extremely conspicuous-in-chrome Fisker Karma sporting a strip of purple LED lights under the grille. It's kinda hard to miss...
That observation aside, Justin Bieber was recently pulled over by police
in California for driving at speeds reportedly exceeding 100 miles per
hour – that's 25 mph below the Karma's top speed, in case you were
wondering – down the 101 Freeway. The teen singer was cited for reckless
driving.
According to the LA Times, Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine witnessed the Biebermobile being chased by paparazzi and called 911.
Though Zine doesn't deny that Bieber was being chased, he says it's "no
excuse" for reckless driving, saying it reminded him of the "Princess
Diana situation" in 1997, when Diana, Princess of Wales, was tragically killed in a traffic accident while the driver was fleeing from pursuing paparazzi.
TMZ reports that Bieber has filed an official complaint against the
photographer that was chasing him, giving the license plate number of
the car to the officers. Apparently, the offending member of the
paparazzi was seen snapping photos of Bieber shortly thereafter while
the police were taking a statement from the singer. Sounds pretty
brazen, no?
Again we ask: Why drive the chrome Karma if you want to be left alone? It wasn't quite so flashy when he got it.
