Kim Kardashian caused quite a scene just driving on the 101 Freeway yesterday.Kardashian was ticketed for speeding in her Rolls Royce yesterday around 1 p.m. at the Van Nuys Boulevard exit, according to E! Online. At least three paparazzi were chasing her on the freeway. Two of them left the scene, got back on the freeway going the other direction and pulled over to take pictures from the other side of the freeway.
The third actually stopped in front of Kardashian and snapped a few pics of her getting ticketed. The photog Juliano A. Goncalves was cited for speeding and stopping in a nonemergency situation, according to the Associated Press.
No word just how fast she was going or if anyone else was in the car with her.
