A 20-year-old has been charged with stunt driving after Sault Ste. Marie Police say they were going more than twice the speed limit.

Officers patrolling Peoples Road Monday spotted the speeding vehicle.

According to their radar, the driver was going 106 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.

A stunt driving charge comes with an automatic 30-day driver’s licence suspension and a 14 day impoundment of the vehicle.

“Court-imposed penalties may include a monetary fine between $2,000 and $10,000, a mandatory driver’s licence suspension of 1-3 years, and/or a custodial jail sentence not exceeding 6 months,” police added in a news release.

“If found guilty, the driver will also face increased costs for high-risk insurance, six demerit points, and must attend a mandatory driver improvement course or their licence will be cancelled.”
