th ei fp .c a Th e IF P -H al to n H ill s | T hu rs da y, F eb ru ar y 28 ,2 01 9 | 10 A 22-year-old Acton man, who Halton police say was driving more than 70 kilometres per hour over the speed limit while passing other vehicles, is facing stunt driving charg- es. Following a complaint of aggressive driving made to the Halton regional po- lice Road Watch program, officers from the Milton District Response Team were tasked with an early morning patrol on Thurs- day, Feb. 21 to watch for the driver south of Acton. Po- lice say the complaint al- leged the driver of a black VW Jetta sedan was rou- tinely driving over 100 kilo- metres per hour and was observed passing up to 15 vehicles on one occasion. Around 5:30 a.m., an of- ficer witnessed the Jetta passing other vehicles heading southbound on Regional Road 25 while travelling at 132 kilometres per hour in a 60 kilometre per hour zone. The driver was stopped, and the officer confirmed the vehicle was the same one that had been reported to the Road Watch pro- gram. The man was subse- quently charged with stunt driving, speeding and fail- ure to have an insurance card, and his licence and vehicle were also seized for seven days. In addition, a police request for a driver's licence review by the Min- istry of Transportation was approved. "We'd like to thank members of the public who take the time to report ag- gressive driving to us," said Sgt. Paul Rudall of the Dis- trict Response Team. "This case was particularly con- cerning, and I'm happy to say that by working togeth- er we were able to remove this dangerous driver from the road and place them be- fore the court." Road Watch is a commu- nity-driven program en- couraging anonymous re- porting of incidents involv- ing dangerous and/or ag- gressive driving. Potential reports could include stop sign or red light violations, aggressive driving, exces- sive speeding, distracted driving, unsafe passing and community safety zone violations.
