A Norfolk county man was given two speeding tickets by the same officer within 20 minutes on Friday night, Ontario Provincial Police say.
Officers initially pulled the man over on Highway 3 in South Middleton at about 11:30 p.m., and charged the 23-year-old driver.
As the man pulled away from the first traffic stop, police said he accelerated at high speed. The same officer stopped the driver again and issued him a second ticket.
