1. Times were probably different back in the 1950's, and
2. You probably weren't going fast enough.
Without knowing the exact rules down in the Big Easy, it's likely that he was over 100mph on a 65 or 75mph speedway.
In certain places, there are speeds that trigger an immediate arrest and/or loss of license. Could well have been the case here.
