Long time Xzibit fans will know that Xzibit Lost His License for Speeding 1 Day Into the 2007 Gumball Rally:
During the first day of the rally Xzibit lost his license in the Netherlands for doing 160 km/h where only 100 km/h allowed. After the painful penalty his co-driver took over the wheel and they were allowed to continue.
Lets hope Xzibit doesn't get busted by the police this time around!
