RCMP Constable Stephen Zuk says reaction times are lowered when driving at excessive speeds and it can cause other drivers to miscalculate their manoeuvers and be put in danger.

The driver, a 23-year-old male from Fairview was issued two court summons for driving carelessly and speeding.

Cst. Zuk says the Mounties will keep up with their ongoing traffic enforcement efforts in order to maintain safe roadways for all.
