On Friday, May 22, 2026, at 11:07 pm, Selkirk RCMP were travelling north on Highway 9, near Lower Fort Garry when they stopped a vehicle travelling south going 167km/h in an 80km/h speed zone.
The driver’s excuse: the speedometer was in MPH and they didn’t realise they were going that fast.
The officer completed a Mandatory Alcohol Screening on the driver which resulted in a “Warn” reading. The driver, a 52-year-old male from Winnipeg, received a 72-hour immediate roadside suspension.
He was fined $1189 for speeding, $400 for having a blood concentration between 50mg% and 79mg% and $143 for failing to produce their driver’s licence to a peace officer on demand.
The vehicle was impounded for 72hours. The driver also received a Serious Offence Notice sending their Drivers licence for review.
