BARNSTABLE (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Gisele Bundchen, supermodel and wife of Tom Brady, was stopped for speeding over the weekend and given a verbal warning by a Massachusetts state trooper. State police spokesman David Procopio says Bundchen was going about 70 mph in a 55 mph zone on state Route 6 in Barnstable when she was stopped Saturday. Procopio says two children were in the Cadillac SUV, properly fastened in car seats. The trooper reminded Bundchen that the speed limit on Route 6 is 55, and let her go on her way.
Listen, I get off from speeding tickets and various traffic violations once a quarter, like clockwork. It’s uncanny, ask anyone I know. I guess I just possess an innocent boyish charm or something. I’ve been pulled over or waved to the side about 7 times in the last two years. Not a single ticket. Last time I got a “happy birthday” and a written warning. That’s right, the cop actually wished me a happy birthday and sent me on my way. Blew a stop sign and my car inspection had expired, didn’t matter. I'm like the traffic cop-whisperer or something.
So you can imagine that I’m not exactly shocked that Gisele got off doing a measly 70 in a 55. That’s 15 over, which means she was really only doing the unwritten speed limit. Everyone knows you can run +15 mph on highways with no problems (assuming you’re not weaving and Tokyo driftin all over the place). Giselle could have been doing 100 with her kid unbuckled in the front seat while smuggling an old nazi war criminal in the cargo area and the cops would have let her go. She’s Gisele. Not only is she a gorgeous supermodel, she’s married to Tom Brady. She has more freedom than a foreign diplomat with that status. Just keep Brady happy and raise those kids as his heir apparent and we’re cool Gisele. Drive as fast and reckless as you please. We’ll save the tickets for non-good looking foreigners and people who don’t win superbowls for a living.
