Speeding?, ...You'll Get Caught!
During the early evening of November 18, a Parkland County Peace Officer was patrolling east of RR20, on Parkland Drive. A dark coloured vehicle came speeding past. The Officer immediately determined the vehicle to be travelling far in excess of the posted speed limit of 70km/hr. The vehicle was in fact travelling at 147 km/hr, which is 77 km/hr over the maximum speed limit.
This is more than double the speed limit!
The Ford Mustang was being driven in this well-known high traffic area (and after dark when visibility is also typically less than ideal). The male driver was in his early 20's. He received (1) a mandatory court appearance scheduled for early in the new year, and (2) hopefully a new appreciation for obeying the speed limit signs.
There are a few notable locations throughout Parkland County that seem to attract drivers wanting to exceed the posted speed limits. Parkland Officers, and especially the designated Traffic Enforcement detail, remain diligent and watchful for these speeders. Speed limits are there for a reason, ...for the safety of all of us.
