I'd hazard a guess that she wasn't driving a Kia Soul though when she attempt to set the new Alberta land speed record.
A woman buys this real fast sports car and she's is flying down the road at about 133 mph. After a couple miles she flies by a cop at a speed trap. The cop immediately pulls out and turns on his siren. The woman pulls over and waits for the officer to give her a ticket.
The officer comes up to his car and says, "I have been waiting for you all day."
The woman says, "Well, I got here as fast as I could."
The ones in Boyle are the most 'vigilant'.
Immediate roadside suspension for 7 days (plus $180 reinstatement fee to get it back)
6 demerit points
Immediate vehicle impound for 7 days, (plus full payment of all applicable towing and impound fees to get it back) - even if the car’s owner is someone else.
a MINIMUM $2,000 fine
Your car insurance rates will be fucked for years
And that’s all automatic and before trial! In court the license could be further suspended for up to 2 years and the fine could be increased to up to $10,000 and a prison sentence of up to 6 months could be imposed (I don’t think jail for speeding has actually happened though).
In Ontario anything more than 50 over the posted limit is “stunt driving” and automatically results in:

Unless you can prove your speedometer is broken (which is another problem). I remember dad telling a story where the OPP (outside Sudbury) pulled a guy over who was going 200km/h he didn't get a ticket because his speedometer was broken. The driver showed the cop the speedometer was broken. The cop wrote him for 20 over, and told him to get it fixed. It could be an urban legend, but considering my dad (who was a Staff Sgt. in a Southern Ontario dept for 27 years) told me, I have to think there is a shred of truth to this story.
Back in 2008, a motorcyclist got fined $12,000 for speeding - yes, he was going 263 km/h, which is a lot faster, but still. And someone else got a fine for $8,500 a few months before that:

I feel nowadays you would still get the penalties I listed above plus an extra ticket for the broken spedometer
- BC driver
- road to Fort McMurray
- hauling ass like a psycho
I'd guess that it was some wackier-than-usual gangsta bitch heading home in a tricked out SUV after dropping off a half-dozen bales of BC's finest and ten pounds of meth up in the frozen hellscape.
Obviously, she was on drugs... or maybe it was on a Friday and she saw how fast the cars were going...
Bah, she got off easy.

Back then, the fine was calculated based on speed. The faster you went, the more it cost.
Now there are brackets, and upper limits.

I know, and I'm not a fan of the new system.
They should have brought vehicle seizures in to compensate when they changed the fine system, but the PC government didn't want to.

I think they should have added a great idea that the Scandinavian countries use - fines are tied to your income. So these hopped up Italian cars cost the driver triple or quadruple what a normal fine is. Plus, having the fine and speed directly related. $100,000 speeding fines, and car seizures might start to affect people's outlook.
