Swan River RCMP are reminding motorists to slow down after recent traffic enforcement efforts resulted in eight speeding tickets being written over a four-day period.

The ages of the drivers ranged from 17 to 82.

The 17-year-old driver, a Brandon female, was clocked travelling 123 km/h in a 100 km/h zone while travelling on Highway 10 in the RM of Minitonas-Bowsman. She received a $351 fine, the largest ticket handed out by local officers over the four days.

Two of the eight drivers ticketed were pulled over during the noon hour on Friday for speeding through a school zone on 2nd Street South in Swan River. A 36-year-old Swan River female was caught travelling 51 km/h in a 30 km/h zone, while a second driver – a 64-year-old female from the RM of Minitonas, Bowsman – was pulled over after driving 49 km/h in the same area.

RCMP are reminding motorists to follow the rules of the road, which include abiding by posted speed limits and driving to conditions.
