Guest Swifty Posted February 26, 2011 #1 Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) An Albertan motorcyclist was caught driving at 263 km/h on Highway 16 between Edson and Hinton, Alta., about 280 km west of Edmonton. When the case went to court, amazingly, the judge allowed the motorcyclist to keep his licence if he paid a $12,000 fine. "The speed was unusual to begin with," said RCMP Sgt. Ron Lyons, pointing out the maximum fine for speeding in the province is $25,000. "But I haven't seen fines that high, ever."

What the hell was the Cop driving to catch him He can drive fast, but not good, or this would have been a conversation around the coffee pot at the cop shop and nothing more. They outrun out cops here on little crotch rockets.

Mel Posted February 26, 2011 #6 Posted February 26, 2011 As long as that article is, for such a simple explanation, I think they should have their license (USA) to write revoked!
Keemez Posted February 26, 2011 #8 Posted February 26, 2011 ....and for today's educational tidbit... http://www.differencebetween.net/language/difference-between-licence-and-license/ There's just one little problem with that page. Actually there may be more- I stopped reading when I discovered the incorrect info below. It says: "The following are example sentences to differentiate between the noun and verb form in the UK usage. This shop is licensed to sell diamonds. Here the word licensed is being used as a verb. John showed me his driving licence. Here the word licence is used as a noun." Wrong. The verb in that sentence is simply "is". "Licensed" is the object of the verb "is". Man... don't people know they're grammer anymore? hah- get it?
