While this driver wasn’t speeding nearly as fast, it’s interesting to see the difference in punishment between them and an “L” driver who got caught speeding last week.

The “L” driver in question was also speeding in Abbotsford and passed an unmarked police in his Dodge Magnum going 160 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

For his speeding, the 19-year-old received a $700 fine and a seven-month driving suspension, plus the Magnum was impounded.

Driver was issued a 7 month driving suspension, $700 in fines, plus the vehicle was impounded. pic.twitter.com/msO6itDaav
