Former MP Rahim Jaffer guilty of careless driving

Ex-Tory MP Rahim Jaffer, 37, was charged last September after he was stopped by police officers for speeding in Palgrave, Ont., about 60 kilometres north of Toronto.

After pleading guilty to careless driving and being told by an Ontario judge he should "recognize a break when you see one," former Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer was fined $500 Tuesday.
