COLUMBIA, S.C. (WLTX, AP) - Andre Bauer was on the move again Wednesday, only this time it was on foot. The move comes one day after it was learned the lieutenant governor was stopped for speeding at least twice recently without receiving a ticket.

Besides the one-mile walk to work, Bauer was also walking to state Republican Party headquarters in Lexington to file for re-election. That is approximately a 10-mile trip from the State House.

Bauer began walking soon after the state Senate adjourned.

Bauer's political consultant Rod Shealy says the walks were symbolic of his apology. (Related Story: Expert Weighs in on Fallout from Speeding Bauer.)

Shealy says Bauer will walk a lot more in the months leading up to the June primary.

On Tuesday, Bauer told News19's J.R. Berry that he was "embarrassed" that he was speeding in South Carolina.

Earlier in the day, it became public that Bauer was stopped doing 101 miles an hour on Interstate 77 on February 25th in Chester County. Dash Cam tapes released by the South Carolina Department of Public Safety show Bauer radioed a dispatcher and tried to communicate with the trooper who was following him.

The posted speed limit was 70 miles an hour.

The dash cam video in the trooper's car shows that Bauer did pull over. The trooper, however, did not get out of the car; instead, he pulled up beside Bauer's vehicle, leaving after Bauer identified himself as 'SC Two.' SC Two is a code name for the lieutenant governor.

Bauer also was stopped for going 77 or 78 miles an hour on Interstate 385 in Laurens County the day after Christmas. The speed limit then was 65 miles an hour. He was given a warning by the trooper who pulled him over, then allowed to go about his business.

"I've got a lead foot and I don't expect to be treated any differently than any other citizen," Bauer says. "I made an irresponsible decision and I take full responsibility for my actions."

This isn't the first time an incident such as this has come to light. Bauer was stopped in Columbia in 2003 for going 60 miles-an-hour in a 35 miles-an-hour zone.

"I've gotten tickets since I've been lieutenant governor and I've paid the fine," says Bauer. "I apologize."

South Carolina Public Safety Director James Schweitzer says he has looked at both stops, and feels the Laurens County case was handled correctly. He says the trooper was within his discretion to let Bauer off with a warning. Schweitzer, however, says a ticket was warranted in the Chester County stop, calling the way it was handled "not procedurally accurate."

"Given the speed the lieutenant governor was traveling and the potential threat to public safety, I believe a citation was in order," Schweitzer says.

Schweitzer says Bauer was not given a ticket because the trooper believed Bauer was a law enforcement officer acting in an official capacity. Bauer's communications, Schweitzer feels, were not a misrepresentation, but he says Bauer did misuse the radio he had in his car. Schweitzer says that radio is provided to the lieutenant governor for emergency situations, which Schweitzer agrees was not the case that night in Chester County.

Bauer says he used the radio because he wanted to let the trooper know who he was. He says at no time did he ask for special treatment.

Schweitzer also says the trooper didn't follow standard procedure when he approached Bauer after the vehicle stopped. He says normally, troopers pull up behind someone they've stopped; in this case, the trooper pulled up to the side of Bauer's vehicle. While stops can vary in how they are carried out by troopers, Schweitzer says he's not sure why this officer decided to approach Bauer in this way.

Because of this incident, Schweitzer issued a policy directive to his troopers, reaffirming existing policy on traffic stops. He says the goal is to make sure all people, regardless of their position, are given fair and equitable treatment when they're pulled over.

For his part, Bauer says he's going make changes to his public schedule, which he says forces him to rush around the state all the time.

"I overextend myself," he says. "I need to substantially cut down on the amount of events I try to attend."

Bauer says he intends to run for re-election this year.

"I don't claim to be perfect," Bauer says. "I am a human being who makes errors all the time, and I just hope the people will forgive me."
