Two drivers were nabbed in 30 minutes stunt driving on Regional Road 56 north of Binbrook. Their licence and vehicles were seized for seven days. A finding of guilt in December will result in additional penalties from the court system.

On Tuesday, November 19, 2019, shortly before 11:00 p.m., a Binbrook patrol officer was conducting speed enforcement on Regional Road 56 at Golf Club Road when he observed a silver Honda Pilot SUV travelling at a speed faster than the posted speed limit. Through investigation, police learned the vehicle was travelling at 128 km/hr in a posted 60 km/hr zone. A traffic stop was conducted and police confirmed the driver was a 35-year-old Stoney Creek woman with a G class licence.

Shortly before 11:30 p.m., the same officer observed a Honda Accord sedan travelling southbound on RR56 at a speed faster than the posted speed limit. Through investigation, police learned the vehicle was travelling at 131 km/hr in a posted 60 km/hr zone. A traffic stop was conducted and police confirmed the driver was a 29-year-old Binbrook man with a valid G-2 class licence.
