On July 13 at 7:53 p.m., a member of the RCMP's Northeast Traffic Services in Cape Breton was on patrol near Exit 5 near Point Edward. He spotted a car in the left lane, travelling at a high rate of speed and overtaking vehicles. He activated the RADAR and measured the speed at 155 km/hr in a 100 km/hr zone. The police officer stopped the car and charged the 25-year-old man from Sydney with Stunting under the Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Act. The vehicle was seized and impounded. The fine for stunting in Nova Scotia is $2,422.50.
