Apparently some drivers in our province like to go really fast.
RCMP have released the December numbers for those charged with stunting on several highways in our province.
In December 2022, the Nova Scotia RCMP charged 9 drivers with stunting on a number of highways across the province. The following drivers were caught travelling at speeds that caused significant concern:
•175 km/h in a 100 km/h zone on Highway 102 in Bedford;
•154 km/h in a 100 km/h zone on Highway 125 in Mira Road;
•147 km/h in a 70 km/h zone on Highway 105 in North Sydney;
•140 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on Station Road in Londonderry;
•103 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on Main Street in Sydney Mines;
Stunting is defined as any person who operates a motor vehicle on a highway in a race, in a contest, while performing a stunt or on a bet or wager. Anyone driving 50km or more over the speed limit may be charged with stunting.
The fine for stunting in Nova Scotia is $2,422.50 for a first offence, six points on your license and an immediate seven-day roadside license suspension.
RCMP remind drivers to make safety a priority.
