Speed limits are rising to 120 kilometres per hour on sections of three multi-lane highways in B.C. (CBC)

We've all been there.

A little behind schedule, so the foot gets heavier and then a speeding ticket.

B.C.'s Transportation Minister Todd Stone knows the story.

Running late to catch the ferry at Swartz Bay, Stone was recently caught driving 109 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.

The comparisons to "Flying Phil" Gaglardi quickly followed.

Gaglardi is Stone's predecessor as transportation minister, who was known for driving with a heavy foot.

So Kamloops has taken to the nicknames.

Hot Rod Todd? Speedy Stone? Rolling Stone? Turbo Todd?

Daybreak's Samantha Garvey got the reaction from the streets of Kamloops.
