Another driver faced that same fine in the 3900-block of Gordon Head Road on Oct. 24. With insurance that expired in September, the vehicle was towed.

Police double down on excessive speed stops
An 18-year-old driver was stopped for going 119 km/h in a 50 km/h zone in the 2000-block of Foul Bay Road on Oct 19. Caught travelling more than 60 km/h over the posted speed limit meant a $483 fine and a vehicle tow.
The fine for driving 40 km/h over the posted speed is $368 and that’s what a second driver faced Oct. 21 during a stop in the 2800-block of Foul Bay Road. Police say the driver was clocked doing 101 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. The vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days, consistent with a first offence. If a second offence happens within two years, the vehicle is impounded for 30 days, with any subsequent offences 60 days.
