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.
The OPP charged motorists with stunt driving after radar enforcement last week caught vehicles 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 routine patrols.
Individuals charged include a 52-year-old from Astorville, a 57-year-old from Gorrie, and a 56-year-old resident of Kipawa, Que., all facing stunt driving charges.
Mandatory penalties include a 30-day License Suspension and 14-day vehicle impoundment for each driver, with both scheduled for future Ontario Court appearances.
Police warn that excessive speed "reduces reaction time, increases stopping distance, and puts all road users at risk," urging public reports to the OPP or via TIPS.
