    Officers suspended the driver’s license of five operators who were stopped after being observed travelling in excess of 150 km/hr.

    The RNC checked thousands of vehicles in the Corner Brook, Northeast Avalon, and Labrador West areas this past long weekend. This resulted in 220 tickets issued, the majority of which related to aggressive operation of motor vehicles. Officers suspended the driver’s license of five operators who were stopped after being observed travelling in excess of 150 km/hr. Four operators were issued a driving suspension for alcohol impairment in excess of the provincial limit under the Highway Traffic Act (HTA).
