LATE FOR SCHOOL? LET’S DO THE MATH!
A driver travelling 205 km/h in a 110 km/h zone on Hwy. 102 near #Hilden told our officer that they were late for school.
That’s one way to try to make up time.
It’s also a very good way to lose your licence.
Here’s the equation:
Leave late + Drive faster ≠ Arrive safely
What does add up?
📈 More stopping distance
📈 Less time to react
📈 Greater crash severity
📈 Greater risk to everyone else on the road
Northwest Traffic Services stopped the 25-year-old driver travelling 95 km/h over the posted speed limit.
The result:
Charged with stunting
Licence seized
Vehicle impounded
Being late might cost you a few minutes. Driving 205 km/h can cost a whole lot more.
No class, meeting, shift, practice or appointment is worth putting lives at risk.
The better formula?
Plan ahead + Leave on time + Slow down = Get there safely.
The lesson can wait. The laws of physics won’t.
