Schwarzenegger escapes speeding ticket

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger managed to convince a cop to terminate a speeding ticket after he was pulled over in Beverly Hills earlier this week.

The action legend was cruising along the streets of his neighbourhood on Wednesday when his Mercedes AMG was stopped by a traffic officer on a motorbike.

The cop chatted to a smiling Schwarzenegger and the actor was allowed to continue on his way with just a warning, according to TMZ.com.
