News, Man, 85, Clocked at 100 Mph in Snow, Ice. (SUV, driver, speeding)

[JD59]

TORONTO - An 85-year-old motorist lost his license and his Oldsmobile for a week and likely faces a hefty fine after becoming the oldest person snagged to date by a new Ontario law aimed at cracking down on street racers, even though he was just speeding.

The man, whose name was not released, was driving on a highway north of Toronto Wednesday when he was allegedly clocked doing 100 mph, 40 mph over the posted speed limit.

I'll bet the police officer thought the guy must have looked just like one of the 4x4 SUV commercials they show on TV at this time of year. You know, the ones with the Jeep, Volvo XC or Land Rover blasting through snow drifts and roaring down snow covered roads while the driver is sipping a cup of tea and listening to pleasant classical music.
