The vehicle's speed
At around 7 a.m. yesterday morning, on Thursday, Aug. 31, Halton police officers stopped a driver who was going over 40 km/h over the speed limit.
The driver, who only had a G2 license, was driving a rental car at 113 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.
Officers then charged the driver with stunt driving, suspended their license for a month and impounded the rental car for two weeks.

- A vehicle running a stop sign or red light
- A vehicle following too closely
- Aggressive, careless or dangerous driving
- Unsafe passing
- A vehicle driving in the middle of a roadway
