Some confusion on a drivers display has led to a hefty fine.
Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan pulled over a vehicle on April 8, west of Colonsay that was travelling 160 kilometres per hour in a 110 kilometres per hour zone on Highway 16.
The driver had indicated he did not know why he was being pulled over, and officers learned that the display on the driver’s vehicle was reading mile per hour and not kilometres per hour. The driver did not know he was travelling at such a speed. He was checking his gas mileage, which led to the switch.
The display was changed back to kilometres per hour and officers fined the driver $910.
