Manitoba RCMP are reminding drivers that a dirty windshield, isn’t a good excuse for going 59 km/h over the speed limit.

Police say a 26-year-old driver was caught doing 129 km/h in a 70 zone on Highway 6 through Eriksdale.

He apparently told officers he couldn’t see the speed limit sign because his windshield "was dirty with bugs and stuff.”

The driver was fined $822 and will have to undergo a license review with MPI.
