Speed Racing on Highway 71

A 20 year old Nestor Falls resident has lost the use of his car for a week.

The OPP say they pulled over a vehicle over the weekend on Highway 71 for speeding.

Officers say the car was travelling more than 50 kilometers in excess of the posted speed limit of 80 kilometers an hour.

Under new provincial regulations, that's considered speed racing and police can impound the vehicle for a week.

To make matters worse, the driver was found to be drinking and has been charged
with impaired driving.
