Driving more than double the speed limit on Hwy. 60 results in stunt driving charge

Members of the Huntsville Detachment of the OPP have charged an Oakville driver with stunt driving on Highway 60 in the Town of Huntsville.

On March 31, 2026, around 8:59 p.m., members of the Huntsville OPP were conducting proactive traffic enforcement on Highway 60 when they observed a vehicle travelling at a noticeably high rate of speed. The officer confirmed the speed to be more than double the posted 70km/h speed limit. 

As a result, Hasan RAHMEH, a 27-year-old of Oakville, Ontario, was charged with: Drive Motor Vehicle – Perform Stunt – Excessive Speed.

The driver received a 30-day licence suspension and had their vehicle impounded for 14 days. The driver is to appear in the Provincial Offences Court in Bracebridge, Ontario, in June 2026. 

In Ontario, stunt driving charges apply if you drive 40 km/h or more over the limit on roads with a limit under 80 km/h, 50 km/h or more over on roads with a limit of 80 km/h or higher, or any speed of 150 km/h or higher. This immediately results in a 30-day licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impoundment

Speeding contributes to loss of life on our roads. In 2025, there were 75 deaths on Ontario roads that were attributed to speeding. Drivers can adopt safe, defensive driving behaviours that can go a long way toward reducing preventable deaths.

    And the province wants to make people over 70 get tested more often because they feel we are unsafe drivers. When all summer that’s all you see is young people stunt driving in cars and motorcycles .

    Entitled and – or clueless individual, better off walking.

    Should be a 90 day suspension and the vehicle impounded for two months.
