A local driver has been charged with going twice the speed limit on Second Line East.
While on patrol on Wednesday, officers with the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service clocked a vehicle on radar travelling 120 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.
Officers stopped the vehicle and charged the 22-year-old driver with stunt driving.
The driver's licence was also suspended for 30 days and their vehicle impounded for 14 days.
Additional court-imposed penalties may include a monetary fine between $2,000 and $10,000, a mandatory driver’s licence suspension of between one and three years, and/or a custodial jail sentence not exceeding six months.
A guilty verdict would also mean increased costs for high-risk insurance, six (6) demerit points, and attendance of a mandatory driver improvement course.
Because the charge was laid under the Highway Traffic Act and not the Criminal Code, Sault police did not release the driver's name.
