A Fort McMurray man got a court date in a hurry after being caught driving nearly twice the speed limit in northern Alberta this Labour Day long weekend.

RCMP said at around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, a BMW driving south on Highway 63 near Wandering River was caught going 192 km/h in a 110 km/h zone.

The speeder was caught by radar operated by the Alberta RCMP.

Because the 36-year-old driver was caught speeding more than 50 km/h over the limit, he was given an automatic court date. He was ordered to appear on Nov. 22 at the Boyle courthouse.

Convictions for speeding more than 50 km/h can come with a fine up to $2,300 and a driving suspension for as long as 90 days.
