A G1 driver has been suspended from driving for a fifth time, after being stopped speeding in Ottawa's east end.
The Ottawa Police Traffic Escort and Enforcement Unit says officers stopped a vehicle going 130 km/h on Hwy. 174 near Place d'Orleans on Sunday morning. The speed limit is 80 km/h.
"Impaired G1 Novice driver picks up 5th license suspension (unpaid fines, novice BAC above 0, impaired ADLS, Stunt & HTA)," police said.
The charge of stunt driving includes a 30-day licence suspension and the vehicle is impounded for 14 days.
Police did not provide a list of charges the driver is facing after the traffic stop.
G1 is level one of Ontario's graduated licensing system.
"Holders may drive Class G vehicles with an accompanying fully licensed driver with at least four years driving experience," Ontario's Ministry of Transportation said on its website.
Here are the rules for a G1 driver:
- You must not drive if you have been drinking alcohol. Your blood-alcohol level must be zero.
- You must not drive alone, and an accompanying driver must sit in the front passenger seat
- Each person in the vehicle must have a working seatbelt
- You must not drive between midnight and 5 a.m.
