According to Schmidt, the 17-year-old behind the wheel was pulled over after they were spotted speeding at 150 kilometres an hour.

This isnsa国际传媒檛 the first time sa国际传媒� and probably wonsa国际传媒檛 be the last sa国际传媒� that head-turning license plates have made Canadian headlines.
In 2013, the Canadian Taxpayer Federation obtained a list of sa国际传媒渧anitysa国际传媒� plates that had been turned down by B.Csa国际传媒檚 insurance corporation, ICBC, through a freedom of information request.
The rejects included a number of combinations deemed offensive, suggestive, political or simply not in good taste.
Of the 2,193 plates turned down by the Crown corporation, BEER ME, OVRKLL, LMAO, HAMSTER and 4 JESUS were just a few.
A Manitoba man had his plate that read ASIMIL8 confiscated by Crown-owned Manitoba Public Insurance in 2017, after two Indigenous people complained the word sa国际传媒渁ssimilatesa国际传媒� is offensive because of the long history of government assimilation policies.

A man in Nova Scotia has also gone to court over a personalized licence plate. Lorne Grabher has been trying to reinstate his by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles following an anonymous complaint.
