In just one month, more than 1,000 motorists have been charged under a tough new crackdown on speeding in Ontario - a figure that has "floored" insurance officials and left the Police Commissioner who recommended the idea wishing it were even tougher.
Effective from the start of October, anyone charged in Ontario with exceeding the speed limit by 50 kilometres an hour or more faces a barrage of harsh penalties, including a fine of between $2,000 and $10,000 and having their licence suspended and vehicle impounded for one week.
