In Alberta, driving past cruiser cost woman $632

Enough already.
 
Valerie Montgomery has gotten way too much media coverage. Media coverage of her whinging because she broke a law, and thinks that she is innocent because Premier Ralph Klein did not come to her personally and tell her that the law was changing.
 
Ignorance of the law is no defence.
 
If it was her husband or child that had been one of the twelve people were killed and another 906 injured on Alberta roadways in accidents related to construction or maintenance sites between 2000 and 2004, what would she be saying now?
 
Her whining is going to do nothing but teach her children that whining about your own ignorance is much better than following the law.
 
Somewhere, and somehow we must draw the line and start enforcing the laws, and the people on our roads, must accept the responsibility to know the law. God only knows how much more a government can do to teach the drivers of this province how to drive, without sending Ralph Klein to your door and hitting you over the head with the Highway Safety Act.
 
Valerie Montgomery, suck it up and pay the $632 ticket, your media hissy fit is getting nauseating.
