A 16-year-old driver from Guelph with a G2 licence was clocked doing 92 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on Thursday night, report Guelph police.

Just before 9:30 p.m. police were conducting speed enforcement near York Road and Victoria Road South when the driver was caught. The youth was taken off the road for 30 days and his vehicle impounded for 15 days.

Just after 1 a.m. the same traffic unit member was patrolling on Victoria Road South at Decorso Drive when he clocked a vehicle going 124 km/h in a posted 70 km/h zone. The licence plates were also seized as the tires were rubbing against the body panels, thereby making the vehicle unsafe to drive on the road.

A 23-year-old Oshawa man was charged with speeding, stunt driving and operating an unsafe vehicle. He was taken off the road for 30 days and his vehicle was impounded for 15 days.
