New Mexico – Police said New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez's vehicle was pulled over after her driver was caught going 13 mph over the speed limit.
KOAT-TV reports (http://bit.ly/pkHCJ7 ) that Albuquerque police confirmed Thursday that the governor's vehicle was clocked going 48 mph in a 35 mph zone on Frontage Road near Jefferson Street and Interstate 25 last Friday.
Police said a New Mexico State Police officer was driving Martinez to lunch at Chama River Brewing Company.
That violation typically earns the driver a $95 ticket, but the governor's driver got away with a verbal warning.
Albuquerque Sgt. Patrick Ficke said the governor did not receive preferential treatment.
Martinez wouldn't comment on the traffic stop.
