Speeder faces $1,900 fine
Sometimes it’s cheaper to fly.
A Canadian man was caught by police doing 140 mph (226 kph) in a 62 mph (100 kph) zone and faces a hefty fine, CTV News reports.
The 28-year-old was driving a Chevrolet Malibu rental car on the
Trans-Canada highway near the Nova Scotia town of Telford when police
spotted him early this past Monday morning.
“These are speeds for a controlled race track, not for a 100-series
highway,” said Cpl. Mark Kellock of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
According to police, the roads were snowy and icy at the time. The
driver was pulled over without incident and charged with stunting, which
applies to speeders going 31 mph (50 kph) or more over the posted
limit. His license was immediately suspended for a week as the
investigation continues.
