Two drivers from St. Catharines are facing multiple charges after separate incidents in which they were each reportedly caught driving close to twice the speed limit in Hamilton on the weekend, according to police.
The first driver, an 18-year-old, was stopped on Saturday at around 11:30 a.m. when a Volkswagen Jetta was reportedly clocked travelling around 112 kilometres per hour in a 60-kilometre-per-hour zone near Nikola Tesla Boulevard and Industrial Drive, police say.
Meanwhile, a 27-year-old woman in a Hyundai Elantra was reportedly caught in another speed trap on Nikola Tesla Boulevard near Kenilworth Avenue North on Sunday at around 7:30 a.m. That vehicle was clocked at 113 kilometres per hour in a posted 60-kilometre-per-hour zone, according to police.
