A 42-year-old St. Zotique man was slapped with a $1,376 fine for driving nearly 170 kilometres per hour in a 100-kilometre zone in Valleyfield last week.

Sûreté du Québec officers conducting radar checks on Highway 530 shortly after noon on Oct. 6 clocked a car travelling at 168 kilometres per hour and immediately ordered the driver to pull over. Along with the fine, the motorist had his driver’s licence suspended for seven days and was issued 14 demerit points.
