On December 21 at 12:34 p.m., a member of Kingston RCMP was on patrol on Hwy. 101 when they observed a westbound vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed. The RADAR was activated and the speed measured at 163 km/h, 63 km/hr over the posted speed limit of 100 km/hr. The RCMP officer activated the emergency equipment on the police vehicle and stopped the target vehicle.
The 23-year-old male driver from Dartmouth was served a Summary Offence Ticket for Stunting. The vehicle was seized and impounded under the authority of the Motor Vehicle Act. The fine for stunting in Nova Scotia is $2,422.50. The RCMP want to remind the public that speed is one of the major causes of serious injury and fatal collisions on our roads. Road Safety is a priority for the RCMP, and drivers are reminded to make it their priority as well. If you see someone driving unsafely on our roads, report it by calling the RCMP at 1-800-803-RCMP (7267) or 911.
