Greater Sudbury Police are warning drivers to slow down after charging two more speedsters with stunt driving.

On Oct. 7, officers simultaneously stopped two vehicles that were speeding.

The first was driving 77 km/h over the speed limit on Falconbridge Road. The officer took a breath sample, and the drive blew in the warning range, said police.

The second driver was travelling 58 km/h over the speed limit on Maley Drive.

Both drivers had their licences seized and their vehicle impounded.

“Drivers who register a blood-alcohol concentration in the ‘warn range’ of .05 to .08 pose an immediate danger to themselves and other road users,” said police in a news release. “Drive safe. Drive sober. Slow down.”

If caught driving in the warn range, you will receive an immediate driver’s-licence suspension at the roadside for three days for a first occurrence, seven days for a second occurrence, and you must undergo a remedial alcohol-education program, and there are substantially increased penalties and sanctions for each subsequent occurrence.
