Driver clocked at 114 over limit
July 26, 2016 · 0 Comments
Caledon OPP reports catching a driver going well over the posted speed limit June 4.
Police stated an officer was conducting radar enforcement on Creditview Road, north of Old School Road when he spotted a black 2013 Mercedes-Benz travelling at high speed. The officer determined the speed to be 194 km-h in a posted 80 zone, or 114 over the limit.
A 38-year-old man from Caledon was charged with racing a motor vehicle. His licence was suspended for seven days on the spot, and the car was impounded for seven days.
Police say driving 50 or more km-h over the posted 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 actions 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.
