A back-to-school blitz by Ottawa traffic officers has so far netted one driver going double the speed limit and another who really shouldn’t need the schooling.

“Seems even some school bus drivers need to be educated during this week’s back to school blitz,” Const. Jon Hall noted dryly in a tweet Wednesday.

The Ottawa Police Service reported that 22 drivers were charged with speeding Thursday alone as part of Project Interlude.

One of them was going 81 km/h in a 40 km/h zone.

Sgt. Mark Gatien noted that fines are doubled in designed community safety zones so that driver was looking at a $607 fine.

That’s a costly lesson.
