G1 driver caught speeding with several unbuckled child passengers slapped with 11 demerit points, 7 charges
A traffic stop over speeding turned into a slew of charges for a novice driver who allegedly had several unbuckled children in the vehicle in New Tecumseth.
A Nottawasaga OPP officer pulled the vehicle over for allegedly speeding 85 kilometres per hour in a posted 60 km/h zone on Adjala-Tecumseth Townline on June 28.
Police say the G1 driver wasn't accompanied by a fully licensed driver, which is a requirement for a G1 licence holder, and discovered six passengers, including four children not wearing seatbelts and a baby in a car seat that wasn't properly anchored in the vehicle.
'And the child was not strapped in,' police added. 'This level of disregard for basic road safety is unacceptable.'
The G1 driver was ultimately charged with seven offences, faces 11 demerit points and nearly $1,300 in fines.
'Every seatbelt matters. Every child's life matters. Every driver has a responsibility,' OPP finished.

Downtown Halifax nightclub appeals proposed suspension of liquor licence
A downtown Halifax bar allegedly served alcohol to a minor and allowed employees to drink while they were working, according to the Nova Scotia's Alcohol, Gaming, Fuel and Tobacco Division. The division has accused staff at the Dome Nightclub of violating several sections of the Liquor Control Act on June 6, 2024. The accusations follow an investigation. The nightclub was issued a notice of proposed disciplinary action last month that included a seven-day suspension of its liquor licence to take place during the last weekend of July and part of the Natal Day weekend. However, the bar's owner appealed, which has allowed the bar to remain open until the matter goes before the Nova Scotia Energy Board, which is the provincial regulator for liquor licensees. In the appeal, a lawyer for the bar's owner denies the allegations and said the staff "exercised due diligence in relation to permitting entry or serving alcohol" to customers. A spokesperson for the Alcohol, Gaming, Fuel and Tobacco Division and the owner of the bar declined requests for comment. Other alleged violations, licence suspensions The province also alleges staff violated provincial regulations on June 6, 2024 by improperly dispensing liquor, selling liquor not in a glass, and allowing activity that is "detrimental to the orderly control and operation" of the bar. The proposed discipline also included new conditions for the bar such as only allowing liquor to be sold by the glass and prohibiting liquor bottles at a customer's table, even as part of VIP service. Staff would also have to attend an instructional session organized by the Alcohol, Gaming, Fuel and Tobacco Division. The matter is scheduled to go in front of the Nova Scotia Energy Board for a preliminary hearing on Aug. 26. The Dome had its liquor licence suspended for four days earlier this year in relation to a separate matter in 2023. The bar was disciplined after staff allowed several customers back into the bar after they were kicked out for intoxication.
