South Bruce OPP have charged a motorist after they say officers observed dangerous driving along Sideroad 10 South in the Municipality of Brockton.

The incident happened just after 5 p.m. on July 5.

According to police, the driver was observed conducting ‘burnouts’, and fishtailing along the roadway.

Three young children were in the front passenger seat, none of which secured by car seats or seatbelts, police say.

A 35-year-old Brockton resident has been charged with stunt driving and three counts of driving while a child passenger was not properly secured.

Their vehicle was impounded for two weeks, and their driver’s license suspended for one month.

They have a court date scheduled in August to answer to the charges.
