The Saskatoon police service (SPS) caught a teenager going 100 km/h over the posted speed limit Friday night.
At roughly 10:30 p.m., an SPS officer clocked a passing vehicle going 192 km/h on Highway 16 west near Zimmerman Road. The posted speed limit in the area is 90 km/h.
The 16-year-old driver was issued a $1,380.00 ticket and had his vehicle impounded for seven days.
Another driver stopped at a speed that could turn deadly in an instant last night. A 16-year old (with a passenger) going 192 km/h in the 90 on Highway 16 near Boychuk Dr. was fined $1380 and lost his car. There isn’t any justification for these types of speeds. #slowdownyxe pic.twitter.com/8CYrZ7iOnu
