Unfortunately, the rider of a motorcycle was detected speeding at 151km/h in the posted 100km/h zone and received a four month disqualification and a $1,161.50 fine.

Another driver on good behaviour for driving offences was detected speeding at 133km/h in the posted 100km/h zone and received five demerit points and a $606 fine and will likely lose his licence.

An additional six drivers were detected speeding in built up residential areas within Miena & Bothwell over a three hour period.
