Barrie police are reminding residents to slow down after a driver was caught allegedly speeding on city streets.

Police shared a photo on social media of a radar gun with a reading of 93 km/h.

Police say a 30-year-old Brampton man was caught speeding in a rental vehicle in the area of Hanmer Street and Bayfield Street.

Police say the man was operating the vehicle on a G1 licence and speeding in a 50 km/h zone.

On Sunday, speeding and stunt driving charges were laid against the driver as well as a charge for driving without a qualified driver as a passenger, police say.

In Ontario, G1 drivers charged with stunt driving while solo are subject to a 14 day vehicle impoundment and a 30 day licence suspension.
