A driver of a Mercedes SUV was caught going way to fast for the icy conditions on Highway 97 north of Vernon this week.
Falkland RCMP officers clocked the SUV doing 146 km/h on "extremely icy roads" on Wednesday, Jan. 11, according to a post to the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP Facebook page.
Police say not only was the driver speeding excessively, they were doing so on nearly bald tires.

"On top of the fines, the driver will have seven days without their vehicle to reflect on how risky and dangerous this is," RCMP said in the post.
