Noobink: TIL Ulysses S. Grant was pulled over for riding his horse and buggy too quickly. Realizing it was the president the officer apologized and offered to ignore the infraction, but Grant replied "I was speeding, you caught me and I'll pay the ticket." He was fined $5, which would have been $91 today.
