AGASSIZ — Barreling down Highway 9 in Agassiz at over 120 kilometres an hour in a posted 50-km zone might get you to your destination a few seconds earlier, but your bank account and insurance costs are bound to take a costly hit.
Agassiz RCMP members were conducting traffic enforcement on Highway 9 near Tuyttens Road on Tuesday, July 11 at 3 p.m. when they observed a vehicle travelling along the highway at a high rate of speed.
According to a news release from Sgt. Mike Sargent of the Agassiz RCMP detachment, the speeding vehicle was clocked in excess of 120 kilometres an hour in a clearly marked 50 km/hr posted speed limit stretch of the road.
As a result of the driver’s foolish decision, the driver was issued a violent ticket and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.
