Adrian Peterson keeps his license despite being clocked at 109 mph 

By Michael David Smith

Vikings coach Brad Childress hasn't decided whether to fine running back Adrian Peterson for missing mandatory minicamp practices, but the state of Minnesota has decided to fine him $378 for speeding.

Peterson will pay a $300 fine and $78 in surcharges after pleading guilty to driving 99 mph in a 55 mph zone, the Associated Press reports. He has also been ordered to do 16 hours of community service.

Based on the Associated Press report, it sounds like Peterson got off easy here: Peterson will keep his driver's license even though he was clocked at 109 mph in a 55 mph zone. Minnesota law says that a driver's license will be revoked for at least six months for driving over 100 mph, but Peterson was able to reach an agreement earlier this month to plead guilty to an amended charge that reduced his speed to 99 mph.



Ok, so maybe they don't really strike again, but I had to use that title.

Wow, in WI if you're 30 or more over, automatic license revocation.

It is normal for people to plea bargain, not just for Vikings players in Minnesota. They offer a lesser charge in exchange for not having to fight about it in court. Specially for someone who had not been in trouble before.

Exactly. I SHOULD be in jail due to some of the stuff I plead guilty for. But because I made a deal with the prosecuting attorney I obviously NOT in jail.

That's absolutely ridiculous.

44 mph over the limit with a <$500 fine? It shouldn't matter whether he's (or anybody else) done ANYTHING wrong before, when the hell can you ever excuse 44 mph over the limit?

He didn't get just less than a $500 fine. He also has community service hours to 'pay'.

He's also gotta pay his lawyer. Bet that is more than $500. :)

I don't think my current car is capable of going 44 miles over the limit. And, alas, I know I'm not capable any more of handling it even if it was.

Oh, for the days of that Chevelle 327.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I'd gladly pay what would amount to a $3 fine for the rest of us if I was caught going 109 in a 55.

I got roughly the same fine for going 69 in a 60 after plea bargaining in Missouri and had to do an average of 45 hours of community service each year in high school because I went to a Catholic school. He got off light. But you know what, I don't blame these guys when it happens repeatedly and they get what for them is essentially a wag of the finger.
