Halton Police issued substantial fines and penalties to two drivers yesterday in Burlington.
On March 16, at approximately 1 p.m., a driver on Plains Road and Shadeland Avenue was issued fines totalling $800 for various illegal vehicle modifications.
Police claim the driver was found to have illegally tinted windows, tinted/smoked plate covers, excessive noise, and was missing emission control equipment, specifically a catalytic converter.
Another driver was stopped on Walkers Line at Palladium Way on the same day at 3 p.m. after they were clocked at a speed of 129 km/h in a posted 60 km/h zone.
The driver, identified as a 73-year-old Burlington resident, is now facing charges for stunt driving and has had their vehicle impounded, in addition to a suspension of their driver's license.
Halton Police say there is no excuse for such extreme speed.
