A driver has been charged with stunt driving after being clocked speeding nearly double the posted limit.
Windsor police pulled over a driver after they were caught travelling 95 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on Cabana Road West.
Police say the driver had his licence suspended for 30 days and his vehicle impounded for 14 days.
In Ontario, if you are driving 40 km or more over the posted speed limit in a zone with a speed limit of less than 80 km, you can be charged with stunt driving under the Highway Traffic Act.
If you are convicted, the minimum first-time fine for stunt driving is $2,000 and the fine can increase to a maximum fine of $10,000.
