Almost A Racer Per Day In Wellington County

The Wellington County OPP has been busy through the month of June and July when it comes to pulling over speeders.

Since June 26, 20 drivers have been charged with racing.

That carries an automatic licence suspension and vehicle impoundment for seven days.

The ages of the drivers range from as young as 21-years old to 79-years old; 14 of them are men and six women.

"We focus on keeping our streets and highways safe. So long as the few continue to risk the many we will target those offenders" Staff Sergeant Paul Schambers, Wellington County OPP.

As for where the speeders have been pulled over, the locations are scattered on the map but include instances on Wellington Rd. 109 and Wellington Rd. 124.
