Ten drivers were stopped for stunt driving on Ottawa roads this weekend, as police say the sunshine "shouldn't have resulted in a mad dash on area roads."
Ottawa police officers stopped seven drivers for stunt driving, which includes a 30-day license suspension and the vehicle impounded for 14 days.
On Saturday, police say officers conducting traffic enforcement in an 80 km/h zone stopped drivers going 134 km/h, 134 km/h, 135 km/h, 135 km/h, 137 km/h and 138 km/h.
"Six high-flyers grounded for the next 30 days," police said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
On Sunday, Ottawa police said an officer stopped a driver going 168 km/h in the high-occupancy vehicle lane on Highway 417 near Moodie Drive.
"Using the HOV lane solo is generally frowned-upon," police said. "Flyin’ past an unmarked OPS Traffic vehicle doing 168km/h on the 417 Eastbound near Moodie Road."
Ontario Provincial Police stopped three drivers for stunt driving on Hwy. 417 this weekend.
