Police have suspended the licence of a Brampton driver after being charged for going more than 40 km/h over the limit in a construction zone.
In the early morning of Saturday (June 25), just before 1:00 a.m., the Ontario Provincial Police say officers from the Nipissing West Detachment stopped a vehicle on Highway 69 in Sudbury.
Police say the driver was going 117 km/h in a posted 70 km/h construction zone and had no validated driving permit at the time of the incident.
A 24-year-old man from Brampton has been charged with racing a motor vehicle, speeding and driving a motor vehicle with no currently validated permit.
Provincial Const. Rob Lewis said the driver did not have a valid licence plate sticker. He said the incident should serve as a reminder that even though legislation earlier this year scrapped the fees and requirements for licence plate stickers, plates still need to be renewed.
The driver was issued a 30-day driver’s licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days.
