Another day, another luxury car caught speeding — but this one may have had a new driver at the wheel.
Ridge Meadows RCMP caught a brand-new Jaguar driving at 139 km/h in an 80 km/h zone, said a tweet issued Monday.
The driver had an “N,” the RCMP said — a designation granted to people with Class 7, or novice licences.

Drivers with those licences face fines and other penalties if they violate a zero blood alcohol content restriction, or if they drive under the influence of drugs or break any other rules.
Class 7 drivers also can’t use any personal electronic devices, even with a hands-free system.

And that’s saying nothing of the fines that drivers face for speeding.
Driving over the speed limit in a municipality or against a highway sign nets a fine of anywhere between $138 and $196.
This is far from the first time that police have caught a luxury car driver for excessive speeding.
Earlier this year, the Delta police impounded a rented 2015 Lamborghini Huracan after it was caught going 155 km/h on Highway 99.
The driver, a 20-year-old California man, had to pay rental fees of about US$1,000 per day, alongside the impound charges.
