A 27-year-old man, of Woodbridge, has been charged with:

1) Stunt Driving - Drive at rate of speed 50 km/h or more over speed limit
2) Speeding 162 km/h in a 100 km/h zone

It is alleged that alcohol was a contributing factor in this incident.

On September 30, 2007, Bill 203 came into effect. This important piece of legislation addresses the issues of speed/stunt driving on Ontario roads, to ensure the safety of all road-users, and remove those who put innocent people at risk with bad-driving behavior.

Speed and alcohol are two major contributing factors in fatal collisions. Make the right decision, don’t drink and drive. You decide your speed, physics decides whether you live or die. Do your part to keep our roadways safe.
