Charged with racing on Mayfield

October 2, 2016   ·   0 Comments

A Caledon OPP officer caught a driver doing more than twice the legal speed limit near Snelgrove Sept. 3.
Police report the officer was conducting speed enforcement on Mayfield Road, near Summer Valley Drive and spotted a red 2011 Volkswagen going 128 km-h in a posted 60 zone.
A 31-year-old man from Brampton was charged with racing a motor vehicle.
The car was impounded for seven days.
Police report driving 50 km-h faster than the speed limit is one of the most serious and reckless forms of aggressive driving. They support street racing/stunt driving legislation and other legislation aimed at saving lives and taking drivers who engage in these high-risk behaviours off the road.
A study conducted by Western University and the Ministry of Transportation revealed that there are approximately 58 per cent fewer speed-related deaths and injuries a month, particularly for young males, since the law took effect in 2007.
