While Will Smith is busy promoting the movie “Bad Boys For Life,” his personal life takes a hit. He got pulled over for speeding in a dangerous area. The news about his run-in with the law is again causing a frenzy on social media.
According to a report from TMZ, Will Smith was cruising in his car on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, on Friday, March 22, 2024. He was going at a speed of 101 kilometers per hour in an area where the limit was only 72. Therefore, the renowned actor bagged a speeding ticket.
Will Smith Received a Speeding Ticket
On March 22, the actor was caught speeding. He was going 63mph in a 45mph zone on that scenic highway, which is pretty dangerous. Then, the police pulled him over for going over the limit on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California.
According to the outlet, 58 people have lost their lives on that highway in the past 14 years. It’s no wonder officials are cracking down on speeding cars on that oceanside road. Despite increased danger signs reportedly added along PCH earlier this year, speeding continues to be an ongoing problem in the area.

The cops keep finding cars exceeding limits as high as 110 mph along the route, which features twists, turns, and teeters on the edges of cliffs. In October 2023, four Pepperdine University students died on the highway. According to reports, their BMW lost control while going 104mph and hit a young woman.
His Speeding Ticket Reportedly Amounts to $400
According to Nerdwallet, the actor received a speeding ticket for 18 miles over the speed limit, which was almost $400. Following the speeding incident, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” actor continued with his life, as the official trailer for his new “Bad Boys 4” movie went on air on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.
The upcoming film, which will be in cinema on June 7, 2024, is the latest installment of the hit movie franchise featuring Smith and his costar Martin Lawrence.

As reported by TMZ, social media users reacted to news of the actor’s speeding ticket. Some saw it as no big deal as they assumed many people speeded, but few got caught.

Another user jokingly referenced how the cop who gave the ticket to Will Smith didn’t get a punch. The user wrote, “I think the cop was wearing a helmet when he was giving Will Smith a Ticket; that is why the cop did not get a punch in the face.”
A User hilariously commented that Smith was trying to get away from his wife, Jada. “He was trying to get away from Jada.” One user claims the death toll on the said road is more than what the report says.
“Another motorcyclist was added; it’s up to 59… and that didn’t take into account the unincorporated 10mile section in Ventura County that has even more deaths than the official “Malibu” section,” a user claims. Another user jokingly refers to his character in his upcoming movie, “Bad Boys 4.” The user said, “Don’t they know that he is Miami PD Detective Mike Lawery?”
