Because the 36-year-old driver was caught speeding more than 50 km/h over the limit, he was given an automatic court date. He was ordered to appear on Nov. 22 at the Boyle courthouse.
Convictions for speeding more than 50 km/h can come with a fine up to $2,300 and a driving suspension for as long as 90 days.
