DRPS Traffic Services yesterday asked if you think you would have enough time to stop if a deer ran onto the road?

DRPS Traffic Services may have heard many excuses, but this one may be a rare one.
“This motorcyclist… stated he was just speeding because it’s cold out,” said the officers who stopped the rider.
The person was just was 1km away from stunt driving charges, and still received a notable fine (image below).
“Ride safe, and follow the rules,” the police advised.
