OTTAWA -- Fourteen motorists have lost their wheels for one week after being stopped for speeding in Renfrew County this month.

In a statement, the OPP says “the locations of the offences have been various locations throughout the detachment area and on our provincial highways.”
“The speeds of these drivers varied with some speeds in excess of 190 kilometres an hour.”
