No ticket for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Did he fix his own ticket. Lets Pray

Did the Police Officer let Schwarzenegger off because he was the Governor. Is this going to be his big scandal that brings him down. Should there be some hearings about the abuse of power.
.
Schwarzenegger drove last Sunday without a proper license, he lacks the M1 designation for motorcycles. Now I wonder if it was because he was governor he wasn't given a ticket. Some say it was because his motorcycle had a sidecar at the time of Sunday's crash.

The governor rode a motorcycle in his "Terminator" films, this time it was real he received 15 stitches in his lip, his spokeswoman Margita Thompson said, adding the other driver was uninjured

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been riding his motorcycle without the proper license for years but was operating within the law Sunday, when he was in a crash, his spokeswoman said Monday.

The spokeswoman, Margita Thompson, said the governor does not hold an M1 endorsement on his driver's license, which is required for operating a motorcycle.

"He acknowledges he needs to get one," Thompson said.

But on Sunday, the governor was saved by a sidecar, Thompson said.

Schwarzenegger was riding his Harley-Davidson with his 12-year-old son, Patrick, in the sidecar when they were hit by a car pulling out of a driveway in the 2100 block of Mandeville Canyon Road in Brentwood. The presence of the sidecar made the bike a three-wheeled vehicle, which Schwarzenegger was entitled to drive with his regular Class C driver's license, Thompson said.

The governor was not cited in Sunday's accident. Law enforcement officials offered mixed assessments of his position, which was first reported by KFI-AM (640), citing different provisions of the California vehicle code.

As for the governor, at an appearance Monday morning, he made light of the accident and his injury. The fat lip he was sporting wasn't a fashion statement, he said.

The left half of Schwarzenegger's upper lip was visibly puffy and raw when he spoke at a North Hollywood news conference about healthcare coverage for children. It was his first public appearance since the crash.

Schwarzenegger said he was going about 20 mph when a woman in a car backed out of a driveway and hit his Harley.

"She looked into my eyes and backed up anyway," Schwarzenegger said of the woman, whom police refused to identify. He added that she "felt guilty" about the accident.

"It was just too short of a distance for me to put the brakes on," he explained while visiting a hospital in Los Angeles following his release from St. John's Hospital a day earlier. He and his son were treated for minor cuts and bruises at St John's Hospital in Santa Monica and released. Both were wearing helmets.

The other driver was uninjured. No prosecutions were brought over the accident in the city's Brentwood section, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman.

The governor said his doctor told him that he should not attend any public events or even speak for three days. "My wife said, 'Make it seven!' " he joked.

He said Maria Shriver disapproves of his fascination with speed and his love of skydiving, fast skiing and motorcycle riding. But while he acknowledged that he could have been much more seriously hurt, he seemed unrepentant.

"I was very lucky," he said. "It could have been far different. You never know not just on a motorcycle, but when you go skiing. I did all those things anyway before I was governor. I never stick to the rules.

"I've had so many injuries with my movies and so on, this doesn't stop me for a minute," he added.

Others took the accident as a warning.

Nina Cohen, president of the Mandeville Canyon Homeowners Assn., said the city should improve safety measures along the residential street, which she called "very unsafe."

"Thank God he wasn't badly hurt or his child wasn't hurt," she said. "Maybe it will make people realize they need to slow down and heed rules and regulations about keeping their shrubbery cut back."
