Brazen perhaps – or just inattentive – are words that the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) officers may be looking for to describe the driver of the car being towed away (image above) .
A marked cruiser in plain view didn’t stop this motorist from travelling at 139 on a 70 kmh stretch of Taunton Road, said DRPS West Division.
The driver was clocked at Pickering Concession Road 4 in the City of Pickering.
The motorist received five summons and had the driving licence suspended.
As the motor vehicle was impounded, the driver had to ask a family member for a ride home, police said.
Meanwhile, DRPS North Division yesterday charged a driver with stunt driving after the person was caught excessively speeding.
A 30-day licence suspension and 14-day vehicle impound (image below) followed.
The incident took place at Prince Albert in Scugog.
“Please pay attention to and obey the speed limit,” police said.
