A man from Brampton is facing stunt driving charges for going 43 km\/h over the limit<\/a> in the city\u2019s south end.<\/p>\n

A police officer was patrolling Wellington Street West near the Hanlon Parkway around 12:20 p.m. on Thursday when he saw a vehicle whip by. The van was clocked at 103 km\/h in the 60 km\/h zone.<\/p>\n

The officer pulled over the driver from the GTA, and the 24-year-old was also suspended. He faces charges of speeding, stunt driving and driving while suspended, bringing his licence suspension to a further 30 days.<\/p>\n

The van was impounded for two weeks.<\/p>\n

If convicted, he will receive a minimum licence suspension of one year, a fine of $2,000 and six demerit points. <\/p>\n

Guelph police are routinely trying to stop excessive speeding in the municipality. Officials say that driving at high rates of speed is one of the reasons for fatal collisions.<\/p>\n

Recently, Waterloo Regional Police Service laid charges against a 16-year-old in connection with a crash that killed a 51-year-old man<\/a> on a lawn tractor.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0regional police<\/a>, the incident happened on June 15 when a vehicle full of teens was travelling 191 km\/h down Clyde Road in the township, a 50 km\/h zone according to police, meaning they were going nearly four times over the limit.<\/p>\n

There were no injuries reported amongst the four teens who were in the speeding vehicle.<\/p>\n

The teen driver, a girl from Cambridge, was charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, speeding, and two counts of stunt driving.<\/p>\n

The three other teens in the vehicle at the time, ages 15, 16, and 17, were also arrested and charged with two counts each of failing to comply with a release order.<\/p>\n
