It sucks the guy had his vehicle impounded. But I have a hard time understanding why a guy needs to do 60 km over the limit to pass another vehicle.

Nice.
I guess wanting a day in court where an impartial arbiter makes a decision is in your world, not using common sense then?
Mind boggling.
I can go and fight a 15 dollar parking ticket, but in BC if a cop "says" he clocked me going 40 over, it will cost me well over 2000 dollars without ever getting a chance to rebut his claim.
I guess that is "sensible" to you, but I will stick with my definition thanks very much...the one where i am guarenteed to face an accuser and let someone else figure it out, not some roadside cop who may have had a really bad day or didnt like the looks of me, and decides to strand me and those with me in the middle of the Purcell mountains. Very logical allright.
