Halifax District RCMP has charged an 18-year-old male driver with stunting.
Just before 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, RCMP observed a 2008 Mazda travelling at 137 km/h in a 70 km/h zone on Highway 7 – 67 km/h over the speed limit.
The driver was charged under section 163(1) of the Motor Vehicle Act with stunting, which occurs when a driver is going more than 50 km/h over the speed limit. The driver was also charged for not having liability insurance. His driver’s license was suspended for seven days and his vehicle was impounded. He could also face a fine of up to $2,422.50.
