Need for speed costs Alberta man $12,000 -some of the comments are amusing.
A judge has allowed a motorcyclist caught speeding on an Alberta highway at 263 km/h to keep his licence — in return for a $12,000 fine
The Hinton man, 34, was stopped on May 1 on Highway 16 between Edson and Hinton, about 280 kilometres west of Edmonton, RCMP said Friday.
The posted speed limit is 110 km/h.
"The speed was unusual to begin with," said RCMP Sgt. Ron Lyons, pointing out that the maximum fine for speeding in the province is $25,000. "But I haven't seen fines that high, ever."
In June, the same traffic court handed a 25-year-old man from Prince George, B.C. a $8,500 fine for driving his Chevy Cobalt 206 km/h on the same stretch of highway.
Putting his hands in the air, like he just doesn't care.

It could've been the SS version!!![]()
Duct tape is like "The Force". It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
206 kph works out to 128mph.
I'm just saying.
Perhaps a typo and they mean a Corvette?
Keep in mind, the new SS version of the Cobalt set a record on the Nurburgring for a production FWD car.
Not saying it's my cup of tea, but it's a decent little econobox...
even the old Cobalt SS was pretty fast (for an econobox). i do think it's hilarious that the bump from 07 to 08 was like 60-some odd horsepower, lol.
hurray, strikethrough!

Damn!! What kind of cruiser catches up with a bike doing 160+mph? Motorola?
The comments are definitely interesting...it seems some think it should just about be a capital offense.![]()
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
