22-year-old Ocotox, Alta. The man will appear in court in July after a peacekeeping officer recorded him driving more than twice on an inseparable highway on Victoria Day.

Jim Berry, a peacemaker from the Black Diamond City, spotted Kia Optima 2017 north on Highway 22, a short distance from Oilfields General Hospital, around 11:30 a.m. Monday.

Berry detects the car, which is moving at 209 km / h in the area of ​​100 km / h with the help of radar.

During the subsequent stop, the driver, who said he was returning home from Fernie, British Columbia, was asked, “How fast do you think you’re traveling?” And Berry said he said, “About 192.”

Violation of the speed limit above 50 km / h above the announced limit leads to automatic appearance in court and the driver who had a certified driver’s license must appear in court in the province of Turner Valley on July 6.

Despite the scale of the alleged violation, the car was not seized and the driver was allowed to continue his journey under Alberta law.

Berry says the 209km / h record is the biggest speeding offense he has encountered in his 16 years of patrolling the area.

The Black Diamond peace official told CTV News that he had issued a total of 16 speeding tickets on Monday long weekend, with an average violation of between 35 km / h and 50 km / h above the announced limit.
