Ontario Provincial Police have charged a 29-year-old woman with stunt driving after her vehicle was recorded travelling 52 kilometres per hour over the posted speed limit on a northwestern Ontario highway.

OPP said the traffic stop occurred on Highway 105 in the Municipality of Red Lake on Oct. 3, just before 9 a.m.

In a recent social media post, OPP said Const. Hunter Mageau recorded the vehicle travelling at 132 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.

Under Section 172 of the Highway Traffic Act, driving 50 km/h or more over the posted speed limit where the limit is 80 km/h or higher is prohibited and classified as stunt driving.

As a result of the stop and in addition to the charge, the driver received a Part III Summons under the Highway Traffic Act, requiring a future court date. Additionally, her vehicle was impounded for 14 days and her driver’s licence was suspended for 30 days.

OPP emphasized the risks of such behaviour.

“Speeding endangers everyone on the road,” police said.

“Drive safe, slow down (and) stay alert.”
