High Prairie RCMP have charged a motorist for driving more than 120 km/hr over the posted speed limit.

Last Friday just before 3 a.m., Mounties were conducting patrols of Highway 2 in the Big Lakes County Area when members conducted a vehicle stop on a driver doing over 180 km/hr in a posted 60 km/hr zone. The driver was entering the town of High Prairie.

The 27-year-old female GDL driver was issued a summons for speeding requiring a mandatory court appearance, in addition to being charged with driving carelessly.

The accused also registered a ‘caution’ reading on the Approved Screening Device (checks the presence of alcohol in the blood of a person) resulting in her vehicle being seized for seven days, and license suspended.
