Police impound dad’s 2-day old vehicle after stopping son for speeding in Ottawa [Video]

An Ottawa driver will have to explain to dad why his two-day-old vehicle has been seized for stunt driving in Ottawa’s south-east end.

Ottawa police say an officer observed a driver going 137 km/h on Limebank Road on Thursday, where the speed limit is 80 km/h.

“Losing dad’s two-day-old vehicle to a stunt driving charge is not the recommended way to ease into the Labour Day long weekend,” Ottawa police said on X.

“We’re pretty sure there’ll be a ‘responsible driving’ conversation between father and son this afternoon.”

The charge of stunt driving includes a 30-day licence suspension and the vehicle is impounded for 14 days.
