Police say special attention will be paid to people who drive at 50 km/h or more over the limit.

Drivers in that category can be charged with stunt driving and penalties include loss of their driver’s licence through suspension in additon to vehicle impoundment for seven days.

Halton police are also asking the public to report stunt drivers on the road.
