Talk about a pizza lover.
One Victoria driver is facing fines and demerits after being pulled over doing twice the speed limit in a neighbourhood known for its distaste for speeders.
CTV News Vancouver Island says a tweet by VicPD indicates the driver was clocked doing 69 km/h in a 30 km/h zone near Cook Street Village over the long weekend.
The driver's excuse for the big hurry was he “didn’t want his pizza to get cold.”
Now instead of a less hot piece of pie, the driver is facing a $196 fine and three demerit points on his licence.
A driver was stopped by @vicpdtraffic over the weekend going 69km in a 30km zone near Cook St Village. Reason? Didn't want his pizza to get cold. Solution? $196 fine, 3 points on his license, & strong recommendation to use a microwave. #yyj #slowdown
