The Department of Motor Vehicles this afternoon was kind enough to forward on this picture of Mayor Adrian M. Fenty speeding, in response to a records request by LL.

According to the camera readout [PDF], the mayoral Smart Car was doing 43 in a 30 mph zone at 3:19 p.m. on May 11.

LL first disclosed the mayoral speeding ticket last week. Fenty spokesperson Mafara Hobson explained that Hizzoner had been attending a walkthrough at the Watts Branch Rec Center in far Northeast Washington before heading to a press conference at DCPS headquarters on North Capitol Street---about 60 blocks from where the ticket was issued.

The presser was scheduled for 3:15, which would explain the lead foot.

While us city hall reporter types are on the subject of the mayor's personal conveyance, LL ran the mayor's plates (CV-6154) through the DMV ticket payment database.

He got a hit!

The mayor's Smart Car Fortwo Passion Cabriolet picked up a $50 ticket on Monday, May 11, for 'SPEED 11-15 OVR LIMT' while going westbound on the 5500 block of East Capitol Street NE [screenshot].

Mafara Hobson, mayoral spokesperson, says the ticket was issued by a camera. (Makes sense---LL would love to meet the cop with the balls to write the mayor a speeding ticket.)

Hobson says that Fenty was driving the car when the ticket was issued.

OK, but what was Hizzoner doing in the far eastern reaches of the District---just blocks from Prince George's County? That's a question that Fenty's public schedule doesn't quite answer; there were no events that day in the vicinity.

Tsk, tsk, Mr. Mayor. Tsk, tsk.

LL was roaming the John A. Wilson Building this afternoon when noticed this scene behind the building at about 4:30:

That's Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's Smart Fortwo blocking the egress of a delivery truck. The driver told LL he'd been waiting five minutes for Hizzoner to return. LL waited along with him for another five minutes before he had to retreat from the frigid temps. A mayoral aide came out, threw something in the car, then went back inside.

For shame!
