A 21-year-old motorist has been charged with stunt driving after police spotted a car travelling at nearly double the posted speed limit in Mississauga.
Peel Regional Police Road Safety Unit officers say they recently pulled over a vehicle that was travelling at 112 km/h in a 60 km/h zone near Mavis Rd. and Courtneypark Dr.
The driver, who holds a class G2 licence, had their licence suspended for 30 days and the car was impounded for two weeks.
Stunt driving is partially defined as travelling in a vehicle at 40 km/h or more over the speed limit in areas where the posted limit is 80 km/h or lower.
This is just the latest in a rash of stunt driving charges laid by Peel police as they continue to crack down on speeding on Mississauga and Brampton roads.
In fact, just a few weeks ago, police laid another stunt driving charge in the same area of the city.
