Two motorists are facing stunt driving charges after they were nabbed by police just hours apart from each other.

South Simcoe police say both alleged speeding incidents happened along Yonge Street in Innisfil.

Officers reported that one driver was caught travelling at 133 kilometres per hour, while the other was recorded at 138 km/h, both in an 80 km/h zone.

Police say this highlights the ongoing dangers of excessive speed on local roads. “Slow down, follow speed limits and help keep our roads safe,” said officers in a stern social media post Thursday.

According to the Ontario government, anyone involved in stunt driving or street racing, can face an immediate 30-day driver’s licence suspension, an immediate 14-day vehicle impoundment, a minimum fine of $2,000, a maximum fine of $10,000 and six demerit points.

Drivers could also risk a post-conviction licence suspension that lasts a minimum of one year and up to three years for their first conviction, plus other potential penalties for later convictions.
