A Fairview man will be looking to get the lead removed from his shoes after he was clocked doing speeds above 200 km/h on Highway 2 east of High Prairie over the weekend.
The RCMP says they were on Highway 2 conducting enforcement on August 9th when they flagged a driver doing 207 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. Police say the radar catch came with a pair of court summons for driving carelessly and speeding for the 23-year-old.
Cst. Stephen Zuk of the High Prairie RCMP Detachment says situations like this are a reminder for all drivers that safety and proper speeds go hand in hand, and hope not to see anything to this degree for a long time.
“Reaction times are lowered and other drivers, not anticipating such speeds, can thus miscalculate their manoeuvres and be put in danger. We will keep up with our ongoing traffic enforcement efforts in order to maintain safe roadways for all.
