WOODBURN, Ore. – A motorcyclist was arrested for driving 107 mph in a 65 mph zone near Woodburn Saturday morning.

The man was also driving between two cars, “splitting” the lanes of travel, according to deputy Ryan Postlewait.

The driver, 41-year old Miguel Cortes, of Tualatin, “admitted that he was going ‘about 80’ as he split the lanes,” said Don Thomson, of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

Cortes was arrested and released for reckless driving, speeding and failing to maintain a single lane of travel. The speeding fine was $1143, the fine for lane-splitting was $287.

Happened here not long ago in Montreal,Canada...was not arrested...but he was stopped for doing 240km/h in a 70km one...in miles to you's is 150...his fine was
$2,598 plus docked 42 demerit pts...which his demerit only goes to 15...He will be able to get his license back in 6 months...but will have to first go to a driving school and will pay a drastically higher fee for his license...nothing there...his real problem will be finding an Insurance company who wants to insure him...all this and it was not his car...he was a valet driver and used a guests BMW laugh

Finally, a tax on stupidity. With all the Dale Earnhardt wannabees on the highways these days, if they'd only hire more traffic cops, the states could balance their budgets in no time.

That's exactly right but instead they put up speed enforcement cameras and use the money on non police related nonsense like "public art"!

I suspect we don't agree on much, but it sounds like we both think 'plop art' is tantamount to a fleecing of the public. I'd REALLY like to see the money go towards more cops on the beat.
