ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) -- Former Vice President Al Gore was cited for speeding as he drove a rented car to visit family on the Oregon coast.
Gore, who was alone, was issued a $141 ticket for driving 75 miles-per- hour on Highway 26 in the northwest corner of the state. The speed limit is 55.
The arresting trooper said Gore was polite throughout the encounter August 3rd.
The Tennessee Democrat has until December to decide whether to fight the ticket.
