SDG — SD&G OPP officers scooped up six super-speeders on Highway 401 and 417 last weekend — including a London man doing 182 km/h.
By exceeding the posted limit by at least 50 km/h, all six offenders qualified for immediate vehicle impoundment and seven-day licence seizure, under Ontario’s stunt-driving law. They also face court dates and hefty fines.

Next fastest was a 20-year-old man from Waterloo, clocked at 170 km/h on Feb. 20. Officers pulled him over at 1:53 p.m. on Highway 401 in South Dundas.
