If you speed this long weekend remember that Queen Victoria, if she were alive today, would almost certainly not be amused.
Nor would Her Majesty have been amused with the 1,034 British Columbian speeders who received a 鈥淨ueen鈥檚 coupon鈥� from the RCMP after getting caught speeding last May long weekend.
Of those 1,034 who were ticketed, 143 were fined for driving at excessive speeds.
Police will be looking for speeders this long weekend too.
鈥淭his weekend may be the traditional start of vacation season but it is also the start of our summer enforcement season,鈥� said Constable Melissa Wutke, spokeswoman for the BC RCMP Traffic Service. 鈥淪peed is still the leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. and speed is involved in 94 deaths, on average, across B.C. each year.鈥�
