A 23-year-old man is looking at almost $2,000 in fines after he was clocked going over 200 KM/H in a 100 KM/H zone on Montreal’s West Island.
Quebec provincial police (SQ) report that officers out of the Vaudreuil-Dorion station intercepted the man going 205 KM/H on Aug. 8 in Beaconsfield.
The driver was given a $1,976 ticket along with 24 demerit points. His driver’s license was also suspended for a week.
Police say that speeding is one of the leading causes of death in Quebec.
A 2023 SQ report found that 31 per cent of the 240 fatal collisions in 2023 were caused by reckless driving or speeding.
