Speaking of speeding tickets, the RCMP across Alberta gave out more than a handful last week.
During the first week of December, the Alberta RCMP, along with police forces across the country, participated in National Safe Driving Week.
In total across the province, more than 1,933 tickets were awarded to the best motorists last week.
18 were for careless driving, 18 were for distracted driving, and 642 tickets were issued for speeding. One ticket issued was for an individual driving 80 km/hr over the posted speed limit, which unfortunately for them, was not fast enough to elude radar.
Worse, a total of 159 Immediate Roadside Sanctions (IRS) were issued for impaired driving during the week. Officers removed 54 impaired drivers from the roads on National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day alone. 🤦♀️
