International Law

The fast and the foolish

From the Toronto Star:

A Barrie-area teenager?s license has been suspended after he was pulled over for driving 239 kilometres per hour in an 80-kilometre zone.

Huronia West OPP were on a routine patrol at 1:50 a.m. today when they saw a black 2000 Lincoln LLS travelling north on Highway 26, north of Barrie. It was travelling 159 kilometres over the posted limit, OPP said.

…

Under the new street racing legislation, the car has been seized and will be impounded for seven days. [The seventeen-year-old driver’s] license has been suspended.

I also heard the fine in this case could be as high as $10,000.
