A 36-year-old man was ticketed by Mary’s Harbour RCMP for excessive speeding Thursday, after an officer observed the vehicle going 57km/hr over the posted speed limit. It was the latest in a series of suspensions related to excessive speed on Route 510 — at least four other drivers have lost their licences over the past month for traveling 50 km/hr or more over the limit.
On November 13, 2025, at 12:00 p.m, police observed a vehicle traveling 137km/hr along Route 510, between the communities of Lodge Bay and Chateau Pond. The posted speed limit in the area is 80 km/hr.
A traffic stop was conducted, and the driver — a 36-year-old man— was ticketed for excessive speeding. He was also issued a seven-day license suspension under the Highway Traffic Act.
Speeding, dangerous and aggressive driving, distractions and impairment are all common contributing factors to serious and fatal collisions, and they are all choices that put the driver and others on the roads at unnecessary risk.
Road safety is every driver’s responsibility. RCMP Newfoundland and Labrador reminds everyone to buckle up, slow down and never operate a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you see a driver you suspect is operating impaired, or a driver who is posing an immediate threat to road safety, please call 911.
