RCMP clock Kelowna man going 270 kilometres per hour on Highway 1 west of Calgary
‘Ridiculously dangerous’ speeder caught 117 km/h over the limit: Edmonton police chief As a result, 36-year-old Michael Peterec, of Kelowna, B.C., was charged with one count of dangerous driving contrary to Section 320.13 (1) of the Criminal Code.Due to it being a Criminal Code charge rather than a regular traffic ticket, RCMP said it’s up to a judge to determine the fine amount along with other recommendations such as a licence suspension, though that is all determined on a person’s past driving history and other related offences.“There is no excuse for excessive speeding on our streets and highways,” Alberta RCMP traffic Insp. Chris Romanchych said in a news release.“Travelling at rates beyond the posted limit puts you, and those you are sharing the road with, at risk.”Mounties said although there was no collision, an Alberta RCMP traffic forensic collision reconstructionist was consulted and provided a detailed report for use in court as expert evidence to support the Criminal Code dangerous driving charge.
