OTTAWA -

Four drivers are parked for 30 days after being stopped for stunt driving in Barrhaven, including two G2 drivers.

Ottawa police spent a second night targeting speeders and aggressive drivers in Ottawa's south end Saturday night.

The Ottawa Police Traffic Unit says a G2 driver was charged with stunt driving after being observed going 116 km/h on Strandherd Drive at Claridge Drive.

A second G2 driver was charged after police spotted the vehicle travelling at 109 km/h in a 60 km/h zone on Greenbank Road.

The two other motorists charged with stunt driving are:

  • Driver going 127 km/h in a 60 km/h zone on Woodroffe Avenue at Deerfield Drive
  • Driver going 111 km/h in a 60 km/h zone on Longfields Drive at Paul Metivier Drive.

As of Sept. 12, the automatic roadside licence suspension for motorists stopped for stunt driving is 30 days, up from seven days.
