Two 19-year-old drivers are facing stunt driving charges after being stopped speeding on Ottawa roads last week. The Ottawa Police Service says an officer observed a driver travelling 94 km/h in a 40 km/h zone on Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard. The driver was stopped in a Community Safety Zone, where speeding fines are doubled. “Community Safety Zones are designated to help protect vulnerable road users, including pedestrians and children,” police said. “Slow down. Respect posted speed limits. Your decisions behind the wheel can have life-changing consequences.” The driver is facing charges with stunt driving and speeding. Police say a 19-year-old G2 driver was stopped travelling 133 km/h on Milton Road at Perrault Road last week. The speed limit is 80 km/h. The driver was charged with stunt driving for speeding 53 km/h over the limit, according to police. The charge of stunt driving includes a driver’s licence suspension for 30 days and their vehicles were impounded for 14 days.
