“Speeding, wet roads and reduced visibility are a dangerous combination,” the OPP said.

“Reaction time and braking distance are significantly impacted by speeding,” the OPP said on X. “Behaviour like this was not only dangerous for the occupants of this car, but also for everyone else driving on the highway.”

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

The speed limit on Hwy. 416 south of Ottawa is 110 km/h.
