Good Guy Andrew WK Pays Fan's Speeding Ticket

Yesterday a certain Mr Luke Mitchell was hammering it down well known British motorway the M4 while jamming Andrew WK's sweet new single Music Is Worth Living For.

It's an upbeat piece of motivational rock good vibes that is just...undeniable, isn't it?

Luke took to Twitter with this tale of woe, and @'d the relevant parties. And with that we learned: Andrew WK is a good guy and the Thames Valley Police are on their Twitter game. Enjoy:
