Canadian driver fined for littering after tossing speeding ticket out of window

Canadian Driver Fined For Littering After Throwing Speeding Ticket Out of Window

It doesn’t pay to mess with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. After all, the Mounties always get their man.

A Manitoba driver found out the hard way, Global News reported.

The Manitoba division of the RCMP tweeted a video of a driver holding a speeding ticket out of a vehicle window and then letting the ticket fly away.

That resulted in another ticket -- for littering. That cost the driver another C$174 (or $122.79 in U.S. currency) for violating the Highway Traffic act, the RCMP tweeted.

While the Mounties did not mention it, Global News reported that having an unreadable license plate was also a violation of the Highway Traffic Act.
