Life will be slowing down pretty quickly for a 52-year-old Merlin resident who was caught going way too fast on Highway 40 just north of Chatham on New Year's Day.
Elgin OPP said they stopped a vehicle on the highway near St. Andrews Line on January 1 that was recorded going 140 kilometres per hour in a posted 80 km/h zone.
The driver was charged with stunt driving and as a result, their license will be suspended for 30 days and the vehicle will be impounded for 14 days.
OPP are also reminding local residents that speed remains a lead contributing factor in fatal collisions.
