The Perth County OPP already pulled over some heavy footed drivers recently.

A pick-up truck was clocked going 131 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on Perth Line 86.

A 53-year old North Perth man has now been charged with racing a motor vehicle. His licence was suspended and the truck was impounded for a week. And a 43-year old Stouffville man was also charged after an Infiniti G35 was clocked going 143 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on Perth Rd. 140 south of Teviotdale.
