106 in a 50

A 20-year-old male from Mississauga has been charged with stunt driving after Norfolk OPP allegedly recorded him on radar doing 106 km/h in a posted 50 k/ph speed zone. The radar reading was taken Sunday in Langton at approximately 4:20 p.m.

“The OPP remind all motorists that there will be zero tolerance for motorists driving aggressively, impaired by drugs or alcohol, distracted drivers or those who fail to buckle up,” said Constable Ed Sanchuk of the Norfolk OPP. “Driving safety is everyone’s responsibility and it starts before the vehicle is put into drive.”

The driver is to appear in Provincial Court in Simcoe at a later date to answer to the charges. The minimum fine for Stunt Driving upon conviction, is $2,000 and an automatic driver’s licence suspension for 7 days.
