Police Nab Lead Footed Drivers On 402

Provincial police are once again reminding drivers to obey speed limits after two egregious examples of speeding on Hwy. 402.

OPP say the speeders were nabbed Thursday.

One, a 32-year-old man from Kitchener was caught doing 190 km/h in a constructon zone, where the speed limit had been lowered to 80 km/h.

The other, a 24-year-old woman from London, was clocked at 187 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.

"I can't even imagine the catastrophic results that could have happened in either case if either driver lost control, but especially in a construction zone with workers present! Drivers need to become part of the solution instead of remaining the problem." said OPP Chief Superintendent John Cain.

Both drivers were charged with stunt driving and had their vehicles impounded.
