In Saskatoon, a driver was spotted by a police helicopter going 115 kilometres per hour in a 60-km/h zone. In Winnipeg, police nabbed five drivers in one week going more than 50 km/h over the speed limit.
In the Greater Toronto Area, a driver was clocked at 308 km/hr, and days later, police impounded nine vehicles on the same night for stunt driving.
With millions of Canadians spending more time at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, the volume of traffic on streets and highways has plummeted — and some drivers appear to be taking advantage.
But for anyone thinking the circumstances are a licence to speed, Chief Robert Martin of the West Grey police says officers are still out there doing their jobs.
