A 25-year-old woman has been charged with stunting after she was allegedly caught driving almost 60 kilometres over the speed limit on a Nova Scotia highway.
A Halifax Regional Police officer spotted the southbound car on Highway 111 in Dartmouth around 1:37 p.m. Tuesday. Police say the driver was caught on radar travelling at 136 km/h in a 80 km/h zone.
The Enfield, N.S. woman was ticketed for stunting and her vehicle was seized and towed. She is also suspended from driving for a week.
Police say a stunting conviction results in a $2,422.50 fine and six points are assigned to the driver’s record.
A charge of stunting is automatically laid when a vehicle is travelling more than 50 km/h over the posted speed limit.
