The vehicle of a woman who was clocked at over 130 km/h in an 80 km/h zone along Giscome Road on Monday morning was impounded for seven days, RCMP said.

She was also issued a ticket carrying a $368 fine and three demerit points after she was pulled over without incident by a North District RCMP traffic services member. Depending on her driving history, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles could issue a further licence suspension, RCMP added.

"Police remind all drivers to obey posted speed limits - slowing down reduces the likelihood you will be injured or killed in a collision," RCMP said. "Certainly it is not worth the fines, inconvenience of having your car impounded and possible licence suspension."
