I just happened across the following thread / conversation on my Twitter feed. Credit must go to Luke Mitchell, Andrew W.K., Thames Valley Police, Daniel P Carter and MyTicketUK for giving me a little smile before bedtime last night!
Long story short… Mr Mitchell was enjoying the new Andrew W.K. single, “Music Is Worth Living For” (scroll down for a listen), a little too much while driving earlier this week:
Casually driving down the M4 and @AndrewWK new single comes on @DanielPCarter @Radio1RockShow and now I have a speeding ticket. Totally worth it.

This garnered him responses from Andrew W.K. and Daniel P Carter themselves…
Can you put a price on partying?

And yes… there is a price in this instance! But, lo! A light through yonder (expensive) window breaks!
LUKE: I would like to pay this speeding ticket for you. I was responsible for the sonic party power that caused you to speed.
I'll Direct Message you now to get your information. Please let me do this for you.

Not only his ticket paid… but another ticket to replace it. However, credit to him, Luke didn’t take the generously offered ticket or the money:

A final word, though, from Thames Valley Police and Luke:
