Albertan gets $12,000 fine for speeding

Had a speeding ticket recently? Well, slow down! A little traffic
may be good for the soul, one recent study suggested, but speeding can
land you with a massive fine and bad mark on your driving record.

This just in from the Edmonton Journal:

EDSON, Alta. � A 34-year-old Alberta man was handed a $12,000
speeding fine this week after police caught him roaring down the
highway at 263 kilometres per hour - more than twice the posted speed
limit.

On May 1, a police officer noticed the man speeding on a Honda
motorcycle on a stretch of Highway 16, between Edson and Hinton,
Alta., with a 110 km/h speed limit. The officer gave chase, but was
unable to match his speed, said Sgt. Ron Lyons with the RCMP.

The same officer later spotted the motorcycle in Hinton, which is
about 280 kilometres west of Edmonton. The Edson Traffic Court handed
down the fine Aug. 27.

That folks is one friggin expensive speeding ticket! I wonder how many
points went with it.

Since your dollar is swirling around in the sewer, it's almost the
same.
