(PERTH COUNTY, ON) - Stunt drivers are failing to get the message. In the past week, the Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have located two more stunt drivers.
On June 21, 2018, the first driver was located travelling well above the posted speed limit on Perth Line 87 in the Municipality of North Perth. The second driver was located on Perth Line 39 in the Municipality of West Perth, also travelling well above the posted speed limit on the same date.
Both seventeen-year-old male drivers were charged with racing, received licence suspensions, and will appear in court at a later date to speak to the charges. Their motor vehicles were towed and impounded.
Irresponsible driving behaviour will not be tolerated and has no place on the roadway. Drivers who choose to operate a motor vehicle at an excessive speed pose a serious risk to public safety.
Report dangerous driving behaviour immediately to police by calling 1-888-301-1122. In an emergency, pull over and dial 9-1-1.
