Here is a good one from my local area (Vancouver Island): A local Westy owner received a ticket Can$98 for driving too slow. He was pulling an aluminium boat behind his 85 Westy and was driving 80km/h in a 100km/h zone. An unidentified motorist complained to the police who delivered a ticket to the Westy owner who said that they will fight the ticket. Doug Reimer, the driver said that is was very annoying because he pulled over whenever he could to let traffic by. My comment: I guess the cops must be really cash strapped. Between photo radar where you can get a ticket when you are driving marginally fast and this there is not much room to maneouvre. An interesting aside: In Germany the speed limit is 80km/h when you are towing a trailer.
