Roughly an hour and a half outside of Sudbury I hit a pretty bad snowstorm. Visibility was very low at times. With Sudbury being a large mining area, there were more transport trucks than cars passing by, and they did not let the weather slow them down. So this 2 lane highway in a blizzard was quite terrifying.
After I managed to make it through that mess, I had finally made it to Sudbury. There was quite a hill going down into Sudbury which (without my notice) had me going 122km/hr in a 90km/hr zone.. When the police lights started flickering behind me I thought he was about to pass me and speed away, but unfortunately he didn't pass me and I was being pulled over. I didn't even realize how fast I was going. The officer was very nice and I told him my story that I was heading West. Upon receiving my insurance papers he tells me that my insurance card is expired. I spend 10 mins frantically looking for the correct non expired card with no luck.
The officer did a check and saw that my car is definitely insured, and had decided not to issue me a ticket for that. He also reduced my $240 ticket to only $62. So I guess you can say that I made it to Sudbury with barely a scratch (a small one at that).
I spent the night with a friend who is attending school here which was nice because it gave me a chance to say goodbye to one last person before I'm out of the province (also free accommodations are great).
So today the goal is to get to Thunder Bay and spend the night there. Take care guys and do something nice today!
Bye!
