Between last Wednesday and Sunday, Winnipeg police say some of the worst instances of speeding happened on Chief Peguis Trail, as well as on Abinoji Mikoona and Lagimodiere Boulevard.
The highest speeds clocked were two motorcycle drivers going at around 165 and 170 kilometers per hour, respectively, on Lash at around noon on Sunday.
Both men were issued an MPI serious offense notice and were charged under the Highway Traffic Act for careless driving and speeding.
We get news releases from the police all the time, uh, and this one made our, particularly made our heads shake.
When you see 137 kilometers an hour in an 80-kilometer-an-hour zone on Chief Peguis.
136 kilometers an hour, 138 kilometers an hour, another one, 136 kilometers an hour.
152 kilometers an hour in an 80-kilometer-an-hour zone on, uh, at Abinoji Mikoona and Pemmiana.
And then another one here, two motorcycles speeding southbound Lagimodiere clocked in at 165 and 170 kilometers an hour before they were stopped at Headmaster Road.

Yeah, so those, a lot of those are right in my neighborhood, sort of bracketed.

And I know I mentioned something years ago about hearing, um, racing, either on the perimeter of Abinoji Mikoona, or pardon me, uh, either on, uh, Chief Peguis Trail or on the, on the perimeter, sitting in my backyard.

One of our listeners, [laughs] "How can you tell it's, uh, they're racing?" You can tell when it's racing [laughs] engines, and they're screaming.

The engines are at their highest sort of capacity and, and RPM and all that sort of thing.

And I tell you, as much as I love Chief Peguis Trail, that is a fine piece of infrastructure.

And I don't know if it's because it's, uh, I'm not looking to give anybody any excuses here, Brett, but when you mention the roadways involved here, I wonder if it's because these roadways are as close as we get to freeways, that people tend to open up and just let her go.

And all you're doing is putting yourself, and more importantly, you wanna put yourself in danger, that's fine.

But when you're driving like that on a public roadway, you are putting, you are putting other people's lives in danger, and it makes me really angry when I see it, 'cause I see it all the time.
And one of the things that was discussed on CJOB yesterday at, uh, 6:15 on the news with Richard Cloutier, he had, uh, Val Martin with the Winnipeg Sports Car Club and autocross director, as well as Mike Demchenko.
So if you have a need for speed, there are ways you can do it properly and get that out of your system.
