Young driver charged for his actions in Huntsville parking lot
Provincial police say a young driver learned the hard way about the 'consequences of being cool' after officers charged him with stunt driving in a Muskoka parking lot. Police say officers observed a vehicle spinning, drifting and doing burnouts in a King William Street parking lot in Huntsville on Monday night. Officers conducted a traffic stop and subsequently charged the 18-year-old driver, who was also served several other provincial offense notices for various other infractions, police say. Additionally, due to the stunt driving charge, the young driver was handed a 30-day licence suspension and his vehicle was impounded for 14 days. He has a future court date set to answer to the stunt driving charge. If convicted, he could face six demerit points and a licence suspension of up to three years.
