In a shocking turn of events, a 20-year-old G2 driver has once again found themselves in trouble with the law, this time for stunt driving behind the wheel of their parent's vehicle. The reckless act occurred on a bustling Ottawa road where the teenager was clocked at a staggering 144 km/h—64 km/h over the legal speed limit of 80 km/h—on Limebank Road last Friday afternoon.

The incident has raised eyebrows among the Ottawa Police Service's Traffic Escort and Enforcement Unit, especially since this isn’t the first time the young driver has faced such serious charges. Just last April, the same individual was stopped and charged with stunt driving while operating the same family company car on Conroy Road.

Authorities are urging parents to take a more active role in monitoring their children’s driving habits, asking the pressing question: “What’s it gonna take?” Such reckless behavior not only endangers the life of the driver but also puts the lives of other road users at immediate risk.

As a result of the stunt driving charges, the driver will face a harsh penalty that includes a 30-day license suspension and the impounding of the vehicle for 14 days. This incident serves as a crucial reminder to all young drivers and their families about the perils of reckless driving and the potential consequences that follow.

Furthermore, the Ottawa police encourage everyone to report any similar reckless behaviors they may witness on the road, hoping to create a safer driving environment for all. Is this just the tip of the iceberg? Are more young drivers pushing the limits in cars that don’t belong to them? Only time will tell, but for now, vigilance is key.
