“I got pulled over this morning for doing 60 in a 30 zone,” he said, by way of illustration of the phenomenon. “He apologized and let me go. He said, -I'm sorry I had to pull you over, I know you're busy, but you were really hauling the mail, and I had to tell you to slow down.'”

MTV has it right from the horse's mouth:
