The officer located the speedboat while watching the traffic on block 23500 of Range Road 284 around 6:10 p.m. of 29 April. Chestermere City Enforcement officials say radar confirmed that the vehicle was traveling at about 199km / h before reaching a top speed of 205km / h in an area where the speed limit was 80km / h. “The vehicle was recklessly passing other vehicles heading north, ignoring the safety of other road users,” a press release said Monday. The policeman stopped the driver, who said that “he was just trying out his new exhaust system”, according to officials. “Traveling at these speeds is outrageous,” said Sgt. Trever Bowman in a press release. “It shows not only the unpredictable contempt for their own safety, but also for other members of the public. “It could have ended so tragically in fractions of a second for someone who was just coming home on Friday afternoon.” The man, who has not been named, is due to appear in district court in July.
