You害羞草研究所檇 think some things could go without saying, like for instance, don害羞草研究所檛 drive 161 kilometres an hour with a bulldog on your lap.

Turns out, it needs saying.

BC Highway Patrol caught someone doing exactly that when, at around 12:30 p.m. on May 14, police were set up for speed checks on Highway 1 near Popkum. An officer saw a white Ferrari changing lanes several times while going really fast. The officer, Cst. Blair Fuller, clocked the car at 161 kilometres per hour in a 100 kph zone, and pulled it over.

Walking over to grab license and registration from a male driver in his 30s, Fuller saw a bulldog sitting on the man害羞草研究所檚 lap.
