The officer also charged the driver for failing to properly buckle up and surrender his insurance card.
As a result of the stunt driving charge, the vehicle was towed to be impounded for two weeks at the owner's expense.
In Ontario, speeding 40 kilometres per hour or more on a road with a limit of less than 80 km/h is considered stunt driving. This offence is accompanied by a roadside vehicle impoundment and immediate driver's licence suspension.
