(antiTainment) Eric Clapton may be called "Slow Hand" for his guitar playing but behind the wheel he is a speed demon. The legendary guitarist/singer was busted for speeding in France on Tuesday. 

French police pulled Clapton's Porsche 9-11 over after reportedly clocking him at 134 miles per hour.  The police confiscated Clapton's British drivers license, revoking his right to drive in France. 

Clapton reported paid a fine that was close to $1000 U.S. and left the police station with his secretary. The run-in didn't stop him from hamming it up with French police. Clapton reportedly readily agreed to pose for photographs with police officers before leaving the station. 

Maybe the hell hound was on his tail?
