West Shore RCMP says its officers caught four excessive speeders in the past week, including one who was impaired by drugs.
When the driver was stopped, police noticed signs of drug impairment. The driver then admitted to consuming cannabis before driving and failed a field sobriety test. The driver was issued a 24-hour driving prohibition and a ticket for excessive speeding. All four of the drivers were issued tickets for excessive speeding and had their vehicles towed and impounded for seven days. RCMP says the ticket and impoundment will cost each driver over $1,500.
