Parent’s Car Impounded for Stunt Driving

A Cambridge man was taken off the road and saw his parents’ car impounded after he was stopped for stunt driving Monday evening.

Just before 6 p.m. a member of the Guelph Police Service Traffic Unit was conducting speed enforcement near Wellington Street West and Imperial Road South when he spotted a driver travelling well above the posted 60 km/h speed limit.

The vehicle slowed abruptly as it approached the officer, but was still caught on radar going 102 km/h.

An 18-year-old Cambridge man is charged with speeding and stunt driving. His license was suspended for 30 days and his parents’ car was impounded for 14 days. A stunt driving conviction will attract a minimum license suspension of one year, a minimum fine of $2,000 and six demerit points.
