A driver in a rush over Tuesday's lunch break will hopefully be thinking twice before deciding to ignore the speed limit.

The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) says that an officer on patrol Tuesday afternoon caught the driver going twice the posted speed limit.

Police allege that the driver was going 141 km/h in a 70 km/h zone on Inkster Boulevard.

They also added that the driver was just a few blocks away from an elementary school when caught.

WPS tweeted out a picture of the ticket, which came to $979.00
