Speed Demons Unleashed in Labrador

Labrador is on high alert as speeders are caught pushing the boundaries of legality—literally! Recently, local authorities have cracked down on reckless driving, catching speedy offenders in the act.

A 58-Year-Old Takes the Fast Lane

In a shocking display of speed, a 58-year-old man was nabbed by the RCMP driving a staggering 137 km/h in an 80 km/h zone! This egregious act took place on Route 510, between Red Bay and Lodge Bay. Not only did he face a substantial fine, but his driving privileges were snatched away for a full week.

Twice the Trouble for a Young Driver

The day prior, the Forteau RCMP had their hands full when they stopped a 25-year-old driver cruising at double the speed limit in West St. Modeste. His reckless antics also earned him a ticket and a seven-day suspension of his licence.

The Need for Speed—But at What Cost?

These incidents are a stark reminder of the dangers of excessive speeding. As police ramp up enforcement, many are left to wonder—how many lives could be saved if all drivers respected speed limits?
