Vehicle clocked travelling 120km/h in 60 zone in Oro-Medonte: OPP
Police pulled over a vehicle after allegedly clocking it speeding double the posted limit in Oro-Medonte, resulting in a serious charge for the 32-year-old driver.
According to police, an officer on patrol nabbed the vehicle travelling 120 kilometres per hour in a posted 60 zone along Line 7.
Speeds of 40 kilometres or above on a road with a posted limit of 80 or less is considered stunt driving in Ontario, which carries an immediate 30-day licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impoundment at the owner's expense.
"The driver also faces a future court date," OPP added. If convicted of stunt driving, motorists can face six demerit points, and the potential for significant increases in insurance premiums or even policy cancellation. A first offense can also result in a one to three year licence suspension, if convicted.
Motorists convicted of stunt driving, street racing, or careless driving are required to complete a mandatory driver improvement course.
