A Winnipeg driver who is still on his learner’s permit is facing a big fine after police say he travelled double the speed limit on the first day of summer.
The driver-in-training, 23, was busted after Winnipeg police say his vehicle was clocked travelling 162 kilometres per hour in an 80-km/h zone on Sunday on the Chief Peguis Trail.
He faces a fine of $1,123, according to police.
The learner’s level is the first stage of the province’s graduated licensing program and includes a number of restrictions, such as the requirement that a driver with a learner’s permit must be accompanied by a fully licensed supervising driver.
