A 38-year-old man was ticketed for stunting Tuesday morning after police clocked him driving 53 km/h over the posted speed limit.

Around 6:55 a.m., a member with Halifax Regional Police’s traffic unit observed a vehicle travelling at high speeds on Highway 102 in the area of the Bayers Lake Business Park.

According to police, the officer clocked the vehicle’s speed travelling 153 km/h in a 100 km/h speed zone.

The 38-year-old man was ticketed for stunting – a charge that is automatically laid when a vehicle is travelling more than 50 km/h over the posted speed limit.

Police say the man was also suspended from driving for seven days and the vehicle was seized and impounded.
