210 offences in 16 months: Ilya Kovalchuk really drives the wrong way in Russia

210 infractions over a period of 498 days, that means he gets arrested once every 2-3 days, that. Again, nothing less.

And clearly, he’s having trouble with speed limits. Of his 210 infractions, 115 were speeding violations… not unlike Alex Ovechkin, who also boasts of driving very fast.

In total, Kovy ‘s offenses earned him fines of 264,000 rubles, the equivalent of $4,611.34 Canadian. Not very steep fines, let’s say.

But what makes Kovalchuk’s infractions particularly ironic is that, in recent days, he’s been the face of an awareness campaign in Russia about… road safety.

Yes, you read that right.

Let’s hope Kovalchuk will be able to calm down a bit on the roads, because clearly, his behavior is pretty reckless right now. And that’s dangerous not only for him, but also for others.

Overtime

– He’s being closely watched in Montreal.

– Germany on fire.

– We especially wish for the Rocket, hehe.

– Very cool.

– Obviously.
