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!
