Handful of Alberta drivers accused of using highways as speedways near Edmonton

Some Alberta drivers are heading to court accused of using highways outside of Edmonton as speedways.

R-C-M-P say in one case a man on a Ducati Superbike was clocked doing 197 in a 100-kilometre zone — at night in the dark.

In another case a woman was nabbed doing 131 in an area where the speed limit is 70.

Mounties say such speeding is not only a danger to the speedsters, but to others on the road as well.
