California Back To The Future Fan With New DeLorean Gets Speeding Ticket After Going 88MPH
Well, what would you do if you were taking your newly acquired DeLorean out for a spin and suddenly noticed the speedometer hovering at around 85 mph? Wouldn’t you push it to 88 mph in the admittedly desperate hope that something magical might happen?
Spencer White of Santa Clarita, California, did just that last week. And got a ticket for his troubles.
White, who happened to have his mom alongside him at the time, told the BBC it all started when he hit the gas to get past some slow traffic on the freeway.
When he noticed he was moving at 85 mph, he suggested to his mom pushing it to 88 — the precise speed the DeLorean needed for time travel in Back to the Future. She was clearly up for it, imploring her son to “go for it!”
Next thing he knew, he was getting pulled over by a traffic cop.
“I had to open up the door because DeLoreans have these really weird windows on them, and [the cop] had a big grin on his face,” 36-year-old White explained.
