The 45-year-old sergeant from the Peel district has been ordered to surrender his motorcycle within seven days. The officer was believed to have reached speeds of up to 148khp in an 80kph zone. According to police, another officer has been put on administrative duties after he failed to take action over the alleged offence. --
Oh dear, I went faster that that on the way to the Red Cross this morning. But in a 110 zone. Nobody died, where's the friggin crime? Theo When I got my licence there were no speed limits outside of built-up areas. When you got out of town there was one of those "End Speed Limit" signs.
And if you got pulled over and went to court, All you had to do, was convince the magistrate that the speed wasn't dangerous for that particular road and time of day.
