Speedster gets hefty fine for driving 210 km/h
The driver faces stunt driving charges, a 30-day licence suspension and a 14-day impound after police clocked the vehicle at 195 km/h.
Last week, The OPP charged motorists with stunt driving after radar enforcement caught them speeding on Highway 63 near North Bay and Highway 9 in Brockton.
Officers recorded speeds reaching nearly 200 km/h on Highway 9 and 137 km/h on Highway 63, both far exceeding the posted 80 km/h limits during last week's patrols.
Police charged individuals from Astorville, Gorrie, and Kipawa, Que., including a 52-year-old, a 57-year-old, and a 56-year-old, with stunt driving and speeding.
All drivers received a 30-day License Suspension and 14-day vehicle impoundment, with court appearances scheduled before the Ontario Court at future dates.
Police warn that excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases collision risks; the public is urged to report dangerous driving to the OPP or via TIPS.
