Nine stunt drivers taken off the road

Huronia West OPP has charged nine individuals within four days with stunt driving in separate and unrelated occurrences.

Earlier this month, on various streets within the detachment area, Huronia West OPP Traffic Unit conducted nine unrelated traffic stops due to high rates of speed well over the legislative limit for stunt driving. Eight vehicles ranged from 154 km/hr to 166 km/hr, and one of the individuals was driving 96 km/ hr in a 50 km/hr zone.

The nine drivers each received a 30- day licence suspension, are scheduled for court appearances at later dates, and the vehicles were impounded for 14 days.

Drivers and members of the public are reminded to respect our communities, comply with all laws, and not jeopardize the safety of our citizens or our neighbourhoods with risky, illegal, and dangerous actions.

Anyone who witnesses unsafe driving or unlawful activity is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-301-1122 or 911 in an emergency.
