A 24-year-old male was ticketed and charged with imprudent operation of a motor vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act when he was busted on Pitts Memorial Drive, a posted 100 km/h zone.

The RNC is advising drivers to slow down and adjust to weather conditions.

Environment Canada has issued a fog warning with near-zero visibility in St. John's and vicinity.
