An OPP officer hit the brakes on a driver speeding 56 km/h over the speed limit on Hwy. 417 in Ottawa with two young kids in the vehicle.

Ontario Provincial Police say an officer stopped a vehicle driving 156 km/h on the Queensway just after 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

"Four occupants including two young kids," police said.

The driver is facing a charge of stunt driving, which includes a 30-day licence suspension and the vehicle impounded for a week.

On Thursday night, the OPP stopped a vehicle going 98 km/h an hour over the speed limit on Highway 417.

The OPP shared a photo on Twitter of a Honda observed going 198 km/h.

The driver was charged with stunt driving, carless driving and operating a motor vehicle with no insurance.
