Teenager charged with stunting on Highway 102: Halifax police
Police in Halifax ticketed a 17-year-old with stunting for allegedly driving 158 kilometres per hour along Highway 102 Monday morning.

The stunting charge is automatically laid through the Motor Vehicle Act whenever a car is tracked driving more than 50 kilometres per hour above the speed limit, police said.
