Dalwallinu Police from Western Australia shared a photo of a speeding ticket via Twitter on Monday, showing a truck driver who had driven 37 kilometres per hour (23 miles) over the speed limit.

If he was going that fast, maybe he really did need to go. Regardless, police slapped the driver with a A$1,200 (US$960) fine and a loss of his license.
