A 29-year-old male driver was stopped twice within half an hour Monday afternoon (Sept. 2) in Oakville for allegedly speeding way over the speed limit.

At approximately 3 p.m., Burlington OPP pulled over a vehicle westbound on Highway 403 near Dundas Street for allegedly driving 158 km/hr. in a 100 km/hr. zone.

Burlington OPP say the man had been stopped just 30 minutes earlier and charged for stunt driving when he was caught doing 95 km/hr. in a 60 km/hr. zone.

The driver was charged the second time with stunt driving and is facing a 30-day suspension of his licence. He will also have his vehicle impounded for 14 days.

“(A) 30-day licence suspension and 14-day impound is not enough,” said one follower in a tweet on the OPP Highway Safety Division X (formerly Twitter) profile.
