Is this the first time for this?

This morning Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA) was doing a live radio hit on KFBK back in the district while driving to the Capitol. But he had to cut the interview short when a Virginia police officer pulled him over for speeding. According to the AP listeners could hear the police officer, on air, telling Lundgren to hang up the phone.

Lundgren later explained he’d been driving “probably just slightly over the speed limit.”
