Vehicle Incidents
On September 13, 2006, in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, Bollea was driving a yellow 2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT owned by Cecile Barker (chairman of SoBe Entertainment, the record label attached to his sister) when it caught on fire. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman Paul Perry said, "It was a normal car fire. It happens a bunch of times every day and nobody notices."
On September 17, 2006, Bollea was stopped twice driving between Miami and Tampa. He was warned the first time and ticketed the second for going 115 mph (185 km/h) in a 70 mph (113 km/h) zone. In an August 2007 interview with Rides, Bollea said he was driving 123 mph (198 km/h) in a 50 mph (80 km/h) zone. His mother said the interview was exaggerated.
On February 8, 2007, he was ticketed in Miami-Dade County, Florida for driving 57 mph (92 km/h) in a 30 mph (48 km/h) zone, and on April 25, 2007, he was ticketed and received four points on his license for driving 106 mph (171 km/h) in a 70 mph (113 km/h) zone in Osceola County. On August 10, 2007, he was ticketed in Pinellas Park after being clocked going 82 mph (132 km/h) in a 45 mph (72 km/h) construction zone.
