A Guelph male faces impaired and stunt driving charges after a car was stopped early Friday morning driving nearly double the speed limit, say Guelph police
Approximately 3:45 a.m., an officer was conducting speed enforcement on Woodlawn Road West near Governors Road when he clocked a Nissan motor vehicle travelling 118 km/h in a posted 60 km/h zone.
The vehicle was stopped and when the officer approached he could see several empty and partially-filled containers of alcoholic beverage inside. The driver failed a roadside screening test and was arrested and taken to the police station, where further testing confirmed he had more than the legal limit of alcohol in his system.
A 25-year-old Guelph male is charged with impaired operation, stunt driving, speeding and other alcohol-related offences. His driver’s licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for 14 days. He will appear in a Guelph court Feb. 1.
