Song Blamed for Speeding Tickets Nationwide
Record Label, Morusa Records, Agrees to Pay Some of the Fines LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- While driving on that open road, pop the CD in and prepare to be pulled over for speeding by a highway patrol car. At least that's what thousands of drivers are experiencing all across the country -- all due to an instrumental rock song called: "Let's Drive" by singer/songwriter Plissken. The three-and-a-half minute rock guitar riff is being blamed for speeding tickets received by driving enthusiasts who say they were victims of the song's upbeat tempo. The consensus is the song puts you so deeply into the driving groove that the speed limit becomes irrelevant. "It's a great song, but you get into this zone and you begin to speed without realizing it," says Connie Mendez, one of the recipients of a speeding ticket in California. Car expert Barry Chadwick, whose weekly column appears in Foothills Living magazine and the Arroyo Seco Journal, says drivers are easily influenced by songs. "Music affects the way you drive and feel about your car, and this song will actually make you enjoy traffic!" says Chadwick. The label says they'll pay some of the fines since they feel partly responsible as the CD's website touts the slogan: "Get on that open road and put the pedal to the metal!" "We've received complaints from drivers in eleven states," says Adrian Martinez, president of Morusa Records, the label that released the CD a year ago. "We have agreed to pay for some of the fines as a courtesy." They label recently posted a link on their website that asks: "Have you gotten a speeding ticket because of our song?" as they try to keep track of how many people are being pulled over because of "Let's Drive."
