“One of the dangerous issues with driving too fast is that your brain can’t process what your eyes should see – such as the police cruiser you’re passing at excessive speed,” Cpl. Michael McLaughlin says. “We’re grateful to the professional truck driver who did all the right things to prevent this comedy turning into a tragedy.” 

In a news release issued Wednesday (May 13), Highway Patrol says a 59-year-old man from Red Deer was fined $483 for excessive speeding, $109 for an illegal pass on laned roadway and $109 for crossing a double solid line. The man also had his vehicle impounded for seven days, while paying for the cost of a tow truck, and faces at least three years of high-risk driver premiums and escalating insurance that will bring total costs to more than $2,500.
