Steve Wozniak - 104mph
Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak is another Toyota Prius charger. He received a $700 ticket after he was caught doing 105mph in his hybrid.
He tried to be clever in a bid to get off claiming his worldwide travels had confused him into thinking he was merely travelling at 104kph. The judge listened sympathetically, then fined him. Wozniak added that the Prius handled great at 104mph - we couldn't possibly comment.

Obafemi Martins - 106mph
Newcastle United striker Martins got his collar felt after he was caught doing 106mph in his Porsche Cayenne while on his way to the airport. The former Inter Milan man said he had put his foot down because he was concerned he might miss a flight to see his sick son in Italy.
He was fined £550, ordered to pay £400 costs and had six points put on his licence. However, road safety campaigners following the case were incensed because he was not banned from driving. The 24-year-old Nigerian international was given credit for his clean driving record and his guilty plea.
